I think that people can miss the obvious, unfortunately. I also think that, as a male, as much as it is wrong and closed-minded, people may not immediately think of eating disorder. Until the most recent DSM, which just came out last year, only females could be diagnosed with anorexia nervosa as one of the diagnostic criteria was amenorrhea. This does not make it okay that people don't think of it right off, but I think that unless a doctor has knowledge of eating disorders specifically, it may mean you may have to take more initiative in getting help for your eating problems, which, from what you've said, are valid and you do deserve help for.

Just because no one has noticed does not mean that you are fine and there is no problem with your relationship to food and weight. I would really suggest seeing if you can schedule another appointment with your doctor. Perhaps, if it is hard for you to explain and since the doctor did not seem to validate your concerns about the depression, you could write things out ahead of time, including maybe some facts and/or statistics on eating disorders, in order to educate him or her.

You do deserve help and support, promise.
