Heart failure and mental health.

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum.

I suffer with heart failure and depression, I'm aware that one feeds the other and causes me to be very unwell . I'm on all the right medication for my heart issues and I have been put on sertraline as my depression is spiralling out of control. I was wondering how many people have depression and co-existing physical conditions and how you cope on a daily basis.

Hi Curryman. Welcome to the group👍 I’m on sertraline and it has helped me with managing my health anxiety. Be patient as you start up as it can be an awful few weeks but you will improve just don’t give up. Be kind to yourself, rest if you need to and take exercise to keep your mind busy. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress. I am on in for anxiety not depression although it did make me feel very low during the start up process but after a few weeks it passes.
