I'm sorry that your Pdoc doesn’t seem to empathize with your struggle with depression. I had a Pdoc like that once. He asked me how I felt, I said depressed, he yelled "b.s." at me I stuck it out with him for 2 years (didn't have a choice actually). I just learned to never use the word "depressed".

But as far as your Pdoc not making definite decisions, that is what I have found to be the norm. None of my Pdoc have ever made a decision for me. They tell me what they would suggest and let me pick which way I wanted to try. Even recently that happened. My Pdoc thought adding Welbutrin to my cocktail might help my depression, but it could make my anxiety worse. She told me that it's an option if I ever decide to try it. Next time I saw her, I asked to be placed on Welbutrin.

Sometimes I don't know what I want to do, so I ask my Pdoc what they think would be the best choice for me. Maybe that would be more helpful to you?
