Depression CF related

Hi. Just wondering how many of you or your loved ones with CF suffer from any form of depression. Years ago, I was prescribed Paxil by my CF Clinic doctor after breaking down in tears during one of my early visits. Later after seeing a mental health professional, I was described Adderall, after they diagnosed me as being ADD. They also gave me Xanax to sleep, and I was on this roller coaster of ups and downs for years, until I quit everything on my own. I still suffer from bouts of depression and it obviously affects my willingness to adhere to treatments and take car of myself, in general. Any, Do you any of you suffer anything like this along with your CF? I just wonder if it " goes with the territory" so to speak. I am 58 years old, diagnosed 15 years ago with lung functions between 40 and 50%. Also CFRD.
