Depression

Lupus as a disease can be overwhelming. Depression can persist in people with lupus because of the drug class called corticosteroids. The pain of coping with the medical condition along with making certain adjustments and sacrifices causes clinical depression. Usually, the symptom lasts for weeks and disrupts the patients' daily lives. It is important to talk to a doctor to see if you need medication for depression.
