Let's look at "primary depression" versus "secondary depression".💙

Primary depression is what I had. It's outright major depression, clinical depression, with no other adverse mental or physical illnesses. 💙

By contrast, "secondary depression" is something that comes on as a result of having another medical condition. It could be a psychological condition or it could be a physical condition. So often you'll see in the case of people with chronic illnesses, especially chronic pain or chronic fatigue, that they'll withdraw socially, they'll start having more negative thoughts, and that's where secondary depression will come alongside the medical condition. 💙
