QuestionI was wondering would you please tell me: can a person feel depressed in a
wheelchair?
Thanks
AnswerMy area of expertise is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, not disabilities in general. However, with respect to depression, anyone can experience depression. Depression can be brought on by experiences that promote a feeling of loss or sadness - i.e. moving from being able-bodied to using a wheelchair, death of a loved one, etc. It can also be caused by biochemical issues - such as chemical imbalances or vitamin D deficiency.
