"...and not have to start at the bottom again" -- I agree; that might be worse than you have it now.

My own pdoc has told me that going into the inpatient facility with which he himself is associated would "not be therapeutic" for me. It's discouraging when a system created to help people evolves into the opposite.

Do you think there's any way to forestall your slip back into depression or at least mitigate the effects of the episode? Have you had relatively easier episodes in the past?
