MS, depression and sad stories...

Hi,
I haven't been on here for a very long time due to lots of upheavel, but I was reading this news story and was frustrated by the lack of understanding between MS and depression... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/5297298.stm
When my own husband became depressed, I'm sure it was a physical reaction to something on the brain rather than being sad because he is ill. We have been offered prozac, and it helps, but it doesn't seem to be a solution.
As much as the man in the story should be held responsible, I can't help but sympathize with him and I think it's likely he will find out that he has MS as well.
