Please tell me, could endometriosis be linked with depression?

Sure can : Endo often impacts mood bc of chronic pain, pain w/sex, heavy bleeding, infertility, etc. Endo can also make people feel isolated. It can get in the way of work and relationships. Many women r also reluctant to talk about it. Support is key. I believe there are other conditions linked to endo, like hypothyriodism, another condition that impacts mood. A medical doc can confirm and provide treatment.

Yes: For two reasons pain and hormones, endometriosis can lead to depression. It may require antidepressant medication which might be more effective for the pain than pain meds. Pain meds make people depressed and devoid of drive and emotion.
