What Causes Depression with Macular Degeneration?
Depression with macular degeneration may arise from deep feelings of rage, grief or frustration, from isolation or loneliness, from prolonged inactivity or boredom, from self-judgment, from fearing the future, or from feeling out of control with or without options. Some people may be genetically predisposed to depression. Your diet and exercise patterns may also make a difference. If you live in a car-centered area without good public transportation and you lose your driver’s license, you may also be more likely to experience depression. Losing your license may initially contribute to isolation and loneliness, especially if you’ve always relied on cars. It may also affect your sense of independence and personal style. Losing your driver’s license can be a major blow.
