My primary care doctor prescribed a few meds then sent me to a psychiatrist. She realized she didn't have the knowledge to give me the mental care I needed.
This is the advice I would give as well. Find a new doctor who is more familiar with the symptoms of depression. Find a pdoc. Keep your primary for any other health issues. Find a therapist too. The two should work in concert. Talk to them until they understand. Hopefully professionals in that field will have more understanding... If not, find a new one.
