Symptom 10. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Anxiety and Depression
POTS patients may experience anxiety and depression due to the challenges of living with a chronic, often misunderstood condition. The constant battle with debilitating symptoms can take a significant toll on a person’s mental health.
To cope with anxiety and depression, POTS patients should seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals. Therapy, support groups, and online forums can provide valuable resources and connections with others who understand the struggles of living with POTS.
In some cases, medication may be necessary to manage anxiety or depression. It’s essential for individuals experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or excessive worry to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment. (8)
