Hi,
It's great you are feeling so much better. I, too, suffer from severe depression. Since being put on a BiPAP, I have noticed a difference in the severity of my depression.

Although my depression has eased, unfortunately it still remains a separate health issue from my apnea.

I continue to be treated for depression by taking an antidepressant.

All in all, I do feel better, but going a PAP machine has not "cured" my depression.

I hope you continue to improve, but if your depression returns, know that you will be in a better state of mind to deal with it because you are more rested.

Susie
