I totally relate to you. I think PDOCs overlook lots of stuff. I don't get it. They don't dig into your life (past or present) at all to see patterns or how you function on a daily basis. They diagnose you in one session. (I really don't think that's possible with any complex mental disorder.) And they constantly downplay problems or issues that you have that are bothering you. You tell them that your socializing is very dysfunctional (ie can't hold a conversation) and they say, "Well, we're having a conversation right now!" Or I tell my PDOC that agitated depression ran thru one entire side of my family and he has no reaction whatsoever. I feel like my PDOCs never see me like everyone else in the World sees me and it eats me up. Psychiatry is like The Twilight Zone to me.

Melatonin for a serious sleep problem like that? That's unbelievable. Melatonin will hardly do anything to you.

If you're waking up in the middle of the night with lots of energy you might be hypomanic. I had that side effect with Prozac - wide awake at 4 AM and wanted to run around the block a few times.
