I completely disagree with your T. I have generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and recurrent major depression. I have a job (granted, it's working from home, but lots of deadlines), marriage, child, friends, and I get up every morning (even though I often don't want to). Yet even though I'm by many definitions "functional," these mental health issues affect my life every day. I'm sure I'd be functioning much better without them. Many things are a struggle for me. Yes, I might manage to do them, but that doesn't mean I'm completely fine and mental illness-free. If that's how your T defines things, I'm sorry, but I'd consider looking for a new T...
