Cerebral Palsy and depression
Cerebral Palsy and depression: how the condition can affect mood, what patients report and when to seek help.
Depression is a persistent sadness or hopelessness experienced over a prolonged period of time. Depression rates are three to four times higher for people with disabilities, when compared to non-disabled people. Researchers suggest that depression may manifest in a person with a disability due to shortcomings in abilities as a result of they disability, as they probably had the same expectations in the classroom as other non-disabled kids. This is something that I have been though and struggle with from time to time. I tend to get depressed when things outside my control take a dominated roll in my life.
