Allergy does cause depression
The allergy season is just around the corner. I have had allergy, asthma, eczema for a long time and now also hyperthyroidism (Graves basedow). The first three are completely cured thanks to a stroke of good luck by which I came across some great health supplements. The hyperthyroidism is well on its way out too.
What I know and what has been confirmed by my readings on allergies from my Google alert is that they lead to anxiety and depression. Any wonder that the two are on the rise just like allergies? (there are over 100 autoimmune conditions that have been identified so far).
Feelings of being low, sad, stressed, depressed, worthless, caged in, emptiness, chronic fatigue, sadness, being irate, anxious, apathetic are symptoms of depression. If you have allergies the symptoms will probably de clinical, that is they will be as a result of the allergies.
My advice would be not to ignore the above symptoms, read around them and see how you can remedy first and also seek medical attention. Many people me included, think that depression is suffered by others. It is often too terrible a word. Again mental disease is largely stigmatised.
If so many people get depressed in the darker months of the year - a phenomenon called seasonal affective disorder - SAD, how many of those get depressed because they were already in a semi depressed state due to allergies and other autoimmune conditions? A common pattern of disease is allergy, asthma and eczema or other skin allergies all together. Evidently such a group of ailments all at once has to affect the normal functioning of the body.
Feeling under the weather? You may need to take careful note of your feelings over a week or so and then read around them and take action. This would be to modify your diet, do more exercise, check out natural food supplements that help in your local herbal shop and then turn to Bigpharma too if symptoms persist, but be aware that here you merely get medicine to counter symptoms, not the root cause of the disease.
Spring and allergy season are not far off. May you be caught better prepared this time around.

I often wonder about people living in countries that experience long dark winters and how they cope with deficiencies from lack of sunshine...like vitamin d.
Compound that with allergies and stress...hmmm.

Thanks for your comment Whitsunday. I guess their bodies are adapted to it. Even nature,we might find that just then the seasonal crops are full of vitamin D just like we get thirst quenching fruit over summer, nature is so intelligent!!
Thanks for working to raise awareness about natural health solutions. Depression is a big deal, and this is more to then is common knowledge.
Truth be told anything that attacks your immune system and compromises your body in any way leads to depression. This is why depression is a common problem. Sadly all too often people try and combat depression with drugs instead of natural solutions, which only makes things work.
Power to you for looking into natural solutions! Keep it up! I recommend you check out some of doctor Tents seminars...some interesting stuff. https://www.youtube.com/user/DiverseHealthService
All the best to you.

Thanks for your comment and Evan. Depression is so real in our society today anything to raise awareness of it cannot be overstated. It just now comes to mind how last week after celebrating new year in Paris I was waiting for the train for the airport when it was announced that there would be a big delay because somebody had jumped infront of it (this is a popular way of committing suicide in that country).
I will look up the youtube forward. Thanks.
