In reply to Mouth frozen, cant speak -- Depressive symptom?, posted by robot on March 16, 2004, at 0:04:38
Yep. That happens to me. I know it's a direct response ot inadequte treatment of my depression, and I know that it's part of a larger constellation of symptoms. I know it's hard to see it here, since i can type long posts with relative ease, but I can hardly speak. Not only that, when I do speak, it only takes a second of non-response to shut me down entirely.
One of hte other symptoms I get to go with this is an inability to eat. It's as if I'm saying, "Hey, I need sustanance, and you're not allowing me to get it." Who I'm saying this to, I don't know, but it goes away pretty easily for me. The problem is, while it goes away easily with any treatment, getting treatment when I can't ask for it is problematic.
I'm sorry that you're sharing this distress with me, but I think you're right that it's a symptom of the depression, and my experience with it is that it does go away when the depression is adequtely addressed.
Good luck
