When I am in depression I am totally as you describe. But when I am not in a bad depression I can be very social and be on Facebook ect. Even though I am very introverted when doing well. For example in one of my more recent depressions I did not look at my cell phone or computer for over four months. I only left the house for pdoc appointments for over six months. I have a huge amount of social anxiety and paranoia when in that place and basically barricade myself in. Won't answer the phone or the door. But as I said this is only when in deep depression which is not all the time.

If you have been that way always and it is never any different then maybe there is more to it than depression.

A responsible mental health clinic should spend two hours initially evaluating you just for starters. Not no ten minute med eval with a pdoc.
