Ask anyone who have been diagnosed with PCOS, including myself, how difficult this condition is to deal with. There are appearance issues, obesity, hair loss, acne, among others and these can translate into psychological and emotional issues as well, including depression.
PCOS also causes infertility and from experience, this comes with its own host of psychological and emotional issues.
The good news is, you do not have to suffer alone as there is support available now, if you cannot find any in your locale, there are online based groups one such is Project PCOS, based in Pittsburg, PA, offering awareness, information and support for PCOS sufferers.
Project PCOS involves the family, the sufferers, the supporters, the medical community and the overall public as active participants in this effort and this to me is commendable.
For more information, please visit their website at:-
For persons in my locale (Jamaica), there is a facebook page which seem like an affiliate to the above website http://projectpcos.org/www.facebook.com/pages/Pcos-Jamaica/152562148109440. Feel free to check it out.
