You know what didn't help my mood? My dear friend let me borrow the DSM IV. Do yourself a favor and don't read it. The statistics in it are brutal. **** them. I won't be a damn statistic. Screw schizophrenia. People aren't their disorders.

 Maybe you could try some therapy to help with the thinking patterns that contribute to depression. I find it helps me.
The DSM is the most pessimistic publication I have ever read. It strips people of their humanity and puts them in black and white categories. Humans are dynamic beings who rarely fit nicely into categories. Doctors should know this. Most have undergraduate degrees in science. The grey area is very evident in the sciences. E.g. Stars (brown dwarfs to blue giants) The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram shows this.
