OK, I think I'm depressed, blah blah blah. I go to the doctor, to see if they'll do anything about it...

He tells me that its all just a state of mind, and more or less accuses me of shopping around to try to get a script from a doc.

WTF. Eff you, doc. eff you.

I never even mentioned meds to him, as I'd rather do other things, I don't like the side effects of most of those meds... I just asked him. And he goes on saying how people go around, trying to get prescriptions for drugs when they don't need them, and more or less to suck it up.

I think I need a new doc.

And maybe not. You have started at least two now, probably more, threads about this and many people gave you great suggestions.


What have you actually done besides go to the doctor and apparently expect a prescription. Just sounds like one side of the story here.


You would only go to the doctor for depression for two things:
1) Drugs
2) Advise


You apparently did not respond to #2 well.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Doc's advice: suck it up

Not very good advice.

What have you actually tried? Exercise, outside hobby, friends? *Are you self medicating with pot or alcohol?

Perhaps you are depressed because you have not submitted to teachings of the Prophest, peace be upon him.

Exercise, yes. Trying to get into some sort of shape. I lost 30ish lbs last year, gonna lose another 35 or so, then start lifting to gain some back in muscle mass.

Haven't changed hobbies, but I really don't have much time anyway, with work and school. Read mostly. Video games when I get a chance. Hang out with friends when there's time, which isn't often anymore.

I've cut back majorly on drinking over the last couple of years. A beer or two a week. Haven't been drunk in god knows how long. I cut back on the bud, too... usually only when I can't sleep.

Which region do you live in? Could be seasonal depression. PNW folks get that one... a lot.
And yeah see someone else.
