I had my annual physical yesterday. They do a depression screen (although not a very thorough one tbh but it's whatever Medicare is using right now). The dr came in and said that I had some depression symptoms. It's not depression, it's grief. I'm tired of that coming up. I took a better screening, the one my therapist uses, when I got home and I had mild depression which is probably baseline.
I think that bipolar stuff is very different .Just because I don't think my "depression" with the grief is anything more than just grief. I'm sad. That's probably baseline. But the depression scales are showing things that aren't true. With grief there are good and bad days and I have those. But I am not depressed. My AD doesn't need increased. I don't need more therapist appointments.
It's just weird.
