What Causes Depression And Anxiety When Diagnosed With Concussion?
Question: Hi, I have concussion and all I have been doing was sit infront of laptop through out the day continuously for 2 months after being diagnosed. Now I am having depression and anxiety issues. Is it because of concussion/excessive use of laptop or something else? I have also stopped using metformin as it was affecting my nausea. Did it trigger my PCOD causing depression?
