Sorry this is going on-as a nurse I'm surprised because generally no matter what the reason for your visit we want to hear the patient talk not the family-have often had to ask family to step out or let the patient speak. I hope you will get a referral to see a pdoc for your meds-please take care & let us know how you are doing
Saw my tdoc on Thursday & among other things talked about how I feel on the "verge" of depression but like not there yet but close. After we talked about how I feel overall I see that I have fallen into depression again (not severe but I was in denial about it). Had to mull that over for a few days-so am working on that as well as my other stuff (big sigh). I'm having a lot of PTSD stuff cropping up which seems to be fueling all my issues at the moment so am focusing on handling those memories differently than I have in the past. In the words of the awesome Gilda Radner "It's always something"

Take care all
