Depression Ends at 45
So the title of this post, is slightly misleading. I don’t think that there is a magic age where depression stops being an issue for people. However, a study done by Dartmouth and the University of Warwick suggests that depression peaks at the age of 44.
It is said that only in a persons 50’s do most people emerge from a dark depression.
So if depression, is a part of your CFS condition- how does this make you feel. I suppose if you are already nearing the magic number of “44″ you would be happy with this news.
For those of us who have a bit to go before we reach our forties or fifties - this news is a tad depressing.

Reverse Jane,
Glad to know that you are doing so well. What helped you to become symptom free.
I will never give up. I live pretty well with CFS - my setbacks are temporary. I know that there are a lot of people out there who need the encouragement though - and so I send your message out to all of them.
I would love to know what you did to get well - please let us know.

Hello laura,
After having CFS for such a long time, I heard about a therapy called Reverse Therapy and became symptom free by training in it. I am now a Reverse Therapist for a living, and it gives me such satisfaction to see people come through CFS like I did.
It’s not for everyone, but I believe the average rate of significant improvement from RT is 80%. If you want more information there is some on my website or on the main reverse therapy website.
I wish you all the best for the future!
