Thal minor and depression
« on: October 11, 2009, 01:20:29 AM »
Has anyone else been diagnosed with dysthymia (chronic mild depression)?  I wonder if mine is connected somehow to my thal-minor.  Does anyone know if minors are predisposed to depression?

Kathy,

We do hear this a lot. It may be related to thal minor or the aforementioned vitamin D deficiency.

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Hi Kathy,

You can read this thread about thalassemia and depression,

Its not particularly about thal minor,but about thalassemia over all.
