Lupus and Depression: It's Not Just Sadness

Rely on others

Lupus can often be a tough nut to crack, and even more so if the person believes they are alone and can’t rely on anyone. Luckily, this is rarely the case. A person suffering from lupus can frequently find relief in friends and family, as well as other lupus patients who can lean on each other when the going gets rough. If friends and family are not available, then the person can consider finding aid in a local lupus support group, or other focus groups dedicated to addressing patients with chronic illnesses.
