I was labeled with Major Depressive Disorder 30 years ago and that stuck for 18 years when they finally decided Bipolar 1 is what I was. I've been on antidepressants before SSRIs existed. Zoloft was the first one that ever worked for me and I had struggled for 5 years before it came along. Now I have a whole list of drugs to make me feel better only they don't work very well, so the change in labels really hasn't done me any good except to get me turned down for health insurance. I hate labels!
