Depression
Up to 50 percent of fibromyalgia patients struggle with anxiety or depression. Stress might result from constantly feeling exhausted and in discomfort. It’s also likely that anxiety and depression are fibromyalgia symptoms like pain.
Short-term memory and focus are challenging for those with fibromyalgia and depression. Because of this, it becomes difficult for them to recall daily details like where they left their keys or the arrangements they made for the next day.
An investigation into the prevalence of depression in fibromyalgia patients, including both men and women, was published in the Oxford University Press. According to the study, women with the illness reported much higher degrees of depression than men.
People with fibromyalgia may experience other problems that keep them up at night, which include sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. Fatigue and depression are two emotions that can be worsened by sleep deprivation. Even with a whole night’s sleep, patients may have fatigue and difficulty concentrating during the day. Insufficient sleep also makes people more sensitive to pain.
