What Is Fibromyalgia Depression And Why Do You Experience It?
Clinical depression, which often accompanies FMS Syndrome, is more than just a passing feeling of sadness, it is often accompanied with prolonged feelings of severe  chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia depression symptoms of  hopelessness, loss of appetite, loss of interest in hobbies and entertainment, with even suicidal thoughts. This  is a disorder that affects  a patient’s thoughts, moods, feelings, behavior, physical health, and can even aggravate bad posture.  It was thought that the condition was “all in your head” and that if you really tried, you could “pull yourself out of it.”  Physicians now know that depression is not a weakness, and you can treat this medical disorder on a biological or chemical basis.

There are three major chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters (Serotonin, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine) which must be in correct balance to allow a positive, stable self-image, and optimistic mood.  However, when these neurotransmitters are in an unbalanced state with one another, mood changes are inevitable.  In general, when Serotonin levels drop, depression can quickly settle in, but with appropriate treatment, Serotonin levels rise and a happy content mood generally results.
