Depression is not a cause of the Tarlov cysts, the dibilitating pain and symptoms though can cause depression.

If you stay positive you will be fine. You have a "New normal" as I call it. Acceptance is hard but can be done without depression. Some patients have been accused of being depressed because doctor's won't listen, do not let that happen to you. You are your own advocate. See a professional for coping exercises, and affirmations. Seek support groups, just remember all support groups are not a one size fits all group.
Another note is that a lot of the meds they try to put you on causes depression, proceed with caution.

It can most definitely be a contributing factor to poor mental health. Chronic pain needs more attention and a great doctor and great support system

Yes, depression is a symptom as the disease is incurable and can be progressive with very painful chronic daily pain.

Support, empathy, from friends, family is not always easy to come by. Most important is Doctors who know their patients have this and are not willing to educate themselves or help their patient seek proper medical care. Dare I say, and this is MY OWN personal feeling/experience. IT's all about the MONEY. This can lead to frustration, anxiety, depression, isolation. As the saying goes: Walk in my shoes for a day, before passing judgement and opinions on something you may no nothing about. This goes with ANY illness, disease.

Yes! Due to the chronic pain its difficult to deal with

Depression can occur in this disease. IT IS NOT A CAUSE OF THIS DISEASE.
therefore GPs should also be familiar with this debilitating condition, helping patients, not putting them in pysch.institution because they don't believe in this disease, BECAUSE THIS IS VERY HARMFULL FOR PATIENTS. They need help and guidance from their primary physician.

De invaliderende, ondergediagnosticeerde en onbegrepen zenuwpijn leidt frequent tot depressie en zelfmoordgedachten, of overweging tot euthanasie..

Depression is a major side effect of TCD due to the chronic pain and life altering symptoms of the condition. The hardest part to deal with is dismissive doctors! Because of what they've been taught in med school most pf them won't even consider that TCD may be the source of these debilitating symptoms. And if the doctor won't acknowledge TCD it makes it very hard for family or friends to acknowledge it. Feeling alone is a very common complaint of TCD patients.
