Scleroderma and depression: how the condition can affect mood, what patients report and when to seek help.
I think you can get depressed when living with Scleroderma bc it’s a very hard uncommon disease the just doesn’t go away! It changes your life completely and can be very scary and disheartening to watch your body and your health decline!

Scleroderma can cause depression as can any other disappointment in life. It comes from losing abilities or being sad about the state of limited life expectancy or living with weakened state. It is easy to say, "Chin up, it will get better," but someone with depression cannot 'snap out' of true depression. It requires professional help from knowlegeable professionals. It may require medication. Scleroderma, or any other disease, disorder, or limitation might affect one's mood. Forgive youself and seek help.
