Depression and Anxiety in Cystic Fibrosis
Don't hesitate to reach out
It's hard to be aware of your own mood imbalances. Usually, diagnosis involves just a simple but standardized questionnaire that can help a healthcare provider figure out whether or not you need extra help. Screening is for everyone - whether or not you are the caretaker or the patient suffering from cystic fibrosis.
If you’re living with depression, anxiety, or both, get help now. Don't ignore this red flag! Untreated depression and anxiety can affect your quality of life as well. Don't ignore it now. Your CF care team will be able to recommend any further evaluations and will know what treatment options are available to you.
