I got a call today from the disability determination office asking me if I'm taking anything for depression.

I explained that one medication was denied, and that we're now fighting to get me on another.

She wanted to know if the depression is secondary to my MS and how the depression affects my ability to work.

So, it seems as though they think depression is worse then the MS. For me, I can't tell the difference between the MS and depression because they both cause extreme exaustion and limit my daily activities.

So, how am I to know if I am "more" disabled due to MS, or depression?

Am I more likely to loose disability if they deem me mentally well?

They're going to have me see one of their pdocs.

Is MS not enough? If I'm not depressed but have a debilitating disease, does that mean I'm not entitled?

Now I'm worried that if I say I'm generally happy that they'll think I can work. I can't lie!!! Yes there are days when I'm down in the dumps, and yes on those days I'm more exausted than others but even on my good mental days I get warn out out of the blue!

So....for those of you who have seen a pdoc for disability determination, what do I expect??
