This happened to me 10 years ago, I got sick and fought for my life for around 30 days, and after healing I started having side effects - after effects of that illness and I literally couldn’t do anything for like 50 days. I literally haven’t felt depressed at all before that but since then I have depression and some episodes occasionally especially night time before I go to sleep.
I really wonder if anyone experiences the same thing.
For me the exact opposite happened after I got a bad case of a nasty variant of covid (first time I got it at all) where my depression just completely disappeared when I recovered
