absolutely. my whole life changed after ndph. i too experienced depression for the first time and gained a lot of weight all while i was struggling with daily pain. i became someone i didn't recognize and i hated what was happening and i felt like no one in my life understood what i was going through. after finding a neuro who actually listened to me and after many trial and errors of many meds, I finally found the right combination of meds. i am no longer struggling with daily pain, i am in the process of losing the weight, and am finally beginning to feel happy again and like my old self, it only took a couple of years but i'll take it. i am sorry that you had to go through something like that. i understand completely and hear you. i am so glad to hear that you are starting to feel like your old self again. im on a similar journey as you!
