Actually in my situation I was diagnosed with MDD & put on permanent disability. Dealt with it 13 years but when I left my bad marriage & moved across the country it was obvious it was the "situation" I was living in cause I got better & haven't had any depression again. Sometimes psychiatrists don't see the big picture but don't think my situation is common
