Uh.
I just want to clarify that I'm NOT making it up that things are more complex than depression. It's 'just' that noone's ever officially label-wise medically defined exactly what. Even though the psychiatrist said 'other problems', plus anxiety and panic, the letter to my GP only mentioned depression.
I find it most frustrating - although in some ways I'm lucky - because it seems that online people so often think I'm MAKING IT UP and I so am not. I so totally am not.
Then I fall into the self doubt and denial and "there's nothing wrong with me." when there clearly is, and it's clearly more complex than depression - unless dissociative flashbacks are suddenly included in the diagnostic criteria!
