Another common symptom of fibromyalgia is depression or anxiety, or sometimes both at the same time. Adults diagnosed with this health condition ‘are more than 3 times more likely to have major depression’ than those without this issue. In fact, there are higher death rates from suicide and injuries among patients with fibromyalgia. This is also why screening, proper diagnosis, and treatment for these conditions are very important because the earlier it’s diagnosed, the faster it can be treated.
