Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. Physical chronic illnesses do cause depression. Medicines of tuberculosis can cause depression. So, I suggest you try to keep yourself busy and do meditation, relaxation exercises, and yoga. Tuberculosis is a treatable and curable illness. Do not stress too much and stay positive. Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent. I hope this has helps you.

Thank you.
