I hear you. Does seeing a doctor worsen things? I tried the therapy route and got the same thing you did. But I already knew that I had no underlying issues.....I could have talked to a brick wall. I know a lot of people here it works for and I envy them, but not me. And I, too, would like to know that I am not just 15 minutes of my physicians time during which I get nodded at while she considers what she should pick up for dinner or buy the shirt that was on sale as Saks.....
I truly think that people with depression NEED to think that somebody out there really really wants us to get better. Even if it is just a cut on your finger.
I actually do remember a caring doctor who made house visits (yes I'm that old) when I was about nine. He sat on the bed next to me, held my hand, smiled at me and told me I would be fine.
I guess that's what I'm looking for.
