River,
Thanks a lot for that post. I found that article by Akiskal very helpful, and reassuring re. treatment possibilities- and I'm going to try find that book to look through. I also really really liked your suggestion of taking depression test scores for different dates with me to an appoinment- I've found in the past that doctors don't seem to take my depression seriously. I'm always very matter of fact about my symptoms and don't get emotional when talking about it, (I also have an annoying tendency to smile at them- it's actually a nervous thing) and it just seems to make them think I'm just overstressed, in need of time off or something like that, and making too big a deal of it.
Thanks again. Take care,
Ines
