Hello, Roses4me! I've long been diagnosed with depression but never with PTSD, though my psychiatrist is a PTSD specialist and I see him in a PTSD clinic.

My depression is only rarely marked by classical sadness, though I do experience suicidal ideation (without intent). Most of the time I'm lethargic and aimless.

That's me! I'm just not very functional, period.
Would you feel comfortable discussing depression with your doctor/therapist?
