So we'd have to do more testing. Now my process is going really slow because I haven't been to my therapist and/or psychologist(because of my mom). I really do believe that I have depressive disorder, but I don't know what type though.

Before my therapist referred me to my psychologist, she referred me to a psychiatrist. She referred me to a psychiatrist because she thinks I'm clinically depressed. And when I went to the psychiatrist, he prescribed me Prozac. But I never started taking it because my mom doesn't approve of it. And after my psychologist got my results back, he told my mom that she should reconsider me taking the Prozac.

Any who, I was just wondering if anyone has ever been diagnosed with any type of depressive disorder? If so, what was the process like? And how long did it take for you to get diagnosed?

Sorry if my post doesn't really make sense and/or if it's all over the place.

Thanks
Hey, My name is Torrie. I am 16 years old and have the following diagnosis: ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, and cluster B personality disorder with narcissistic and borderline elements..
I have been on meds since 4th grade and have just recently found the right combination of meds that have been perfect for me. It wasnt until my fourth mental health hospitle admission which resulted in a residential treatment facility for 8 months for a suicide attempt that I found a doctor with amazing credentials and who listened to me insted of a book.

I hope this helps!! If you need further information don't hesitate to ask!!
