But while depression may come and go, my sense of smell doesn't ever get better. This makes me wonder exactly what the link is. Perhaps something neurologically is causing both.

We will pray that her sense of pitch comes back in due time, as music was so much a part of her life. Thanks Sandy, for your words of encouragement.

Its good that your loved one is already on anti-depressant mediaction and has recovered her sense of taste. I'm sure in due course her ability to identify notes will also return. yes, I believe that the diminishing of senses like taste, smell and pitch are related to depression and are a preceding cause/ symptom , rather than an effect of anti-depressants or some such post facto effect.

Then she lost her sense of hearing the notes on key. Can't carry a tune anymore or recognize a song. Then she lost her sense of smell and taste. Just recently they have started treating her for depression. Are these all related? Her taste has come back. Do you think there is a possibility that her sense of the tons of music notes will come back? Someone very close to me played the piano & sang on key.
