The Post-Illness Depression Episode

Have you ever felt like you fell into a funk while you were sick? Then even after you physically recovered, you still feel a little blue, and are struggling to get back to your typical self? If so, you’re not alone. Not only is there an actual term for this, but Carolyn is in the thick of it right now and in true Carolyn fashion, she dug into the science behind the post-illness blues.
