In my research that kind of depression is called unspecified depression or depressive disorder nos. If you get too caught up in labels it will consume you eventually. My doctor has accepted that there is no textbook answer to my depression. I have "Philip Depression" and not MDD or Dysthymia simply. It's more complex than that, and somewhere I'm glad. Maybe they should write something in the DSM about me and my case. New category? (That was a bad joke)

Find ways to recover without labels. Skip them all together if you can. Life and the kind people here have taught me that. Going from OCD and clinical depression to schizophrenia, to bipolar disorder to schizoaffective disorder to schizophrenia again and back to depression should have been evidence enough that labels are a waste of time.
