My first few docs dismissed the idea too, but I went to one Dr ( for physical reasons and to ask why antidepressants weren't helping) and he asked me more thoroughly about my history and family history and dx me with bipolar. From what I've read about it, bipolar depression is different than clinical depression too. So you might want to look into it and see if your depression meets that criteria.

Thanks Alone,
I've had the same psych for 10 years, I'm guessing, close to it anyways, and he never said I was bipolar or gave me meds for it. I asked for quetiapine from another doctor years ago, and he gave it to me for sleep. I've been off of that med for quite some time, and had no issues with sleeping or eating. I think I'm just stressed with my son, new relationship, and ex. Too many things going on. I was worried I was getting manic. But anyone might snap I guess with illness and the things I'm dealing with. It's nice to be heard.

You're welcome!
Anytime! Could it have been along the lines of anxiety, panic attack maybe, causing some heightened reaction?
