Title: Thal minor and depression
Post by: kathysask 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.
