A member asked:
Chest pain, anxiety, depression could this be sle?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Sle, (systemic lupus erythematosus), an autoimmune disorder causes multiple symptoms because its inflammation attacks multiple organs in the body - skin, joints, kidneys & blood vessels. It can be very severe and even disfiguring & treatment can be quite toxic. This severity often leads to depression, the most common emotional response to sle. Treating depression helps improve outcome in sle.
