"Depression" The chicken or the Egg Theory

In my opinion, it could possibly be both. Here is an interesting article about depression from NMSS:

Great question. My understanding is that in addition to all we with MS have to be emotionally depressed about there are also physiological brain alterations that can result in depression...double whammy I guess.

Hi all, was just wandering what your thoughts were on depression and MS. It is said that depression is high with people that have MS. So I was wandering if the depession is a physical and or brain chemical result of MS or is it that people with MS have alot to be depressed about!

Thanks
