Welcome ((Yayme)), I'm sorry you were met by a very unsympathetic doctor. Depression is a "real" experience, no matter the cause. Even if it was all in your head, that needs attention and just being told to "Look in the mirror and thank god" isn't use!!.

I would not just stop taking medication. I understand the feelings of want to "duvet dive" its not a nice place to be. I'm glad you found this place and I'm sure your get a lot of support,and I hope you get to change your doctor also!!

Best wishes.
