Tucson,
Thank you for responding. To add to my response to Flowerbells, I thought my tdoc was being overly sensitive. After all, I did sign waivers for each of them to share my information the method of communication should not matter. Will have to add that to my list of questions when I interview a next therapist. My husband said that the tdoc may have not felt qualified to help me. I felt caught in the middle without any control.
Sorry to hear about your depression. Short bouts of depression are just as intense as the longer episodes. Glad you recovered. Stay well.
