I've suffered from bouts of depression ever since I hit puberty, but it's got worse in tandem with the endo. I've read that there's a link between endo and depression, but does anyone know what that link is? I know that chronic pain is depressing in itself, and that the fatigue I get with PMS isn't much fun either, but is that it or is there something else - related to hormone levels or inflammation maybe? I've only just been diagnosed and I'm trying to find out everything I can!
