Interstitial Cystitis and depression
Interstitial Cystitis and depression: how the condition can affect mood, what patients report and when to seek help.
IC can exacerbate depression because you feel like you are chained to a bathroom. It can also be embarrassing to have something wrong with your bladder, especially as a young person. So it often feels like there is no one to talk to or that you always have to wear an incontinence pad and so much change your outfit choices. It can be rough on relationships because being in pain causes one to be grumpy- and the type of pain is not like a broken bone or cramps, something easy to relate to. But, over time, the condition gets easier to manage as you learn how to navigate your body.
