For awhile my psychiatrist I wouldn't say "mis-judged" but misunderstood me. I had an undiagnosed sleep disorder at the time, and it started flaring up on me. I was in for followup and was explaining my depression at the time as losing physical energy from my fatigue, which depleted my mental energy and ability to cope, and then finally my emotional wellness went with it. i saw it as a progression; that I physiologically could not be happy because the simple work of going through my day on limited energy reserves, it was not possible. She felt that I needed to change my opinions/beliefs about my fatigue (I was already doing CBT for my anxiety etc) but she didn't really understand that there was no CBT'ing away as my depression then was a symptom of my sleep disorder.

Luckily, I got diagnosed and treated; and she finally came around and understood as she saw things change
Thanks for this!
