Strep?

Posted by fires on March 10, 2005, at 17:22:08

I've had a plethora of physical and mental symptoms which became quite upsetting of late. Docs said it was anxiety. I said I didn't agree, but had no evidence of anything else.

Finally, today I went to an urgent care facility for mild ear symptoms -- I've been having them for quite some time.

The doc looked in my throat and said I had an infection, and promptly gave me an rx for doxycycline. No culture. Said it was strep. My throat wasn't sore.

Anyway, has anyone had a worsening of their dep./anxiety due to a bacterial infection? Seems possible given that strep can cause OCD in children, and that "mentally ill" persons have disordered immune systems.

I've experienced it with viral infections, but not with bacterial ones.
