Yes — Post‑Polio Syndrome (PPS) can absolutely contribute to depression, and this is well‑documented in clinical research and by major medical organizations.
Depression is not caused by the poliovirus itself, but by the long‑term physical, neurological, and lifestyle changes that PPS brings. The condition increases the risk of depression, but it is not inevitable.
