Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Chronic, severe: Pain can be a trigger for depression. I don't know you -so i don't enough about you to be able to say why you are feeling so depressed. Please talk to your physician so that s/he can evaluate you for clinical depression. It is treatable. Take care.
