hi list.. This is in partial response to Janet Marie's admission of clinical depression to Rosemary.. Janet Marie, you really describe how life looks to someone in cd.. the world is grey. I hadnt considered how it appeared before Prozac and counseling with my psychiatrist. I agree with you that the best source for cd is a psychiatrist rather than a psychologist. If meds are advised, you should be part of the decision as to which ones, and I wouldn't trust an internist with making a good choice of types. My internist said he would put me on them but I declined..and probably a good decision. It led me to my psychiatrist. It is better to begin with the best possible professsional as you suggest. Fortunately, I have doctors who are willing to work with one another. I dont have pd but I do understand cd. Janet Marie knows the isolation you feel looking at others who are not depressed . It is an existance that those who have cd exist in outside of so called *normal* lives. It is difficult to decide whether you are inside looking out at others or outside trying to get into what you view as happy. You feel an alien. You begin to doubt what reality is and who you are. But, it all seems so far away now.. and I am with Janet Marie, I dont intend nor wish to go back into that grey world again... *seattle* audrey friend of aussie john pwp 48/40/38??
