Well, if you're name is in reference to the baseball team, shoot I think they've been the cause several depression episodes. I kid, I kid. They have caused a lot of drinking in my lifetime. But that's neither here nor there...

I'm pretty new in my diagnosis also (accepting it at least), but my pdoc went directly to drugs, but that seems to be the VA strategy for everything. So all I can really tell ya is handle it the best you can and listen to the good people here. There is an amazing amount of knowledge here and even more support.
