Question by Miss J: Are there other medical conditions that create similar symptoms to those of depression and anxiety?
I am doing a little research. I have found a considerable amount of overlap in symptoms that are typically diagnosed as depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder. I have looked into Epstein-Bar Virus, PTSD, Anemia, ADHD, Thyroid, and Sleep Apnea. It is amazing how much the symptoms overlap. I’d like to know if there are other conditions that cause or mimic symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. I would be interested in doing further research.

of course, psych illnesses should be the last to be considered after all other med tests done.
chronic diseases, cancers, diabetes, obesity, but the docs can misdiagnose for years. I know, took them 4 years, 3 picc lines for pseudomonas and a DNA test to prove I have Cystic Fibrosis.
I fired the last idiot who pulled the “depression” needs cymbalta crap, got an MRI brain, shows meningioma. before the new medication, had stuttering, wt loss, forgetfulness, fatigue, muscle weakness, pains in joints/muscles, nausea, low K+, that is not depression, esp the onset and presentation and I knew it wasn’t CF. depression can be misdiagnosed by apathetic docs, pt has vague sx, abd pain, or other sx, labs don’t really show anything, but a disease in process, MS, lupus, ovarian cancers, neurological sx, plus all the wrong meds are Rx’d and the pt suffers until their illness is so bad it ’s too late. supposedly 2% of the pop has depression, but the way they’d have you think, everyone is depressed clinically. see www.effexor.com phases of depression,
