Depression with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Abstract

Depression and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) both are chronic illness of different etiopathology and are usually not looked for together while screening a patient. However, both have got a long incubation period as well as have an overlapping symptom profile. Rarely, cases reported in literature talk both together. Here, we report a rare case with depression complicated by CIDP managed together to improve outcome of depression.
