I see the pdoc in a month or so but I'm trying to figure out if I might have been depressed all this time. She gives me a depression questionnaire each time and I never score too highly but I'm wonder can you just experience depression as a type of low energy where you just don't get things done but you feel mostly OK. I never though about it this way before and I'm wondering if I might need a med adjustment. Any insights?
My head is like concrete when depressed. I always experience low energy when depressed. In fact I would go so far as to say that if I don’t have low energy I’m not depressed.
