Unfortunately, I can't see my "psychiatrist" until August, b/c she is [booked]. I can see my T soon though, within the next couple of weeks. I wonder what she has to say about this...
here in my location when a treatment provider uses the wording ...depressed ... they are noting the clients mood.. example is the clients present mood happy or depressed (sad) when a treatment provider here in my location uses the term depression thats a diagnostic label of a mental disorder.

based on going by my location your first post says to me the treatment provider noted that your mood /feeling\emotion was depressed and gave you a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

by the way bipolar disorder is a type of depression. the difference between plain depression and bipolar is bipolar has patterned cycles. where as depression doesnt have the patterned cycles.
