Your concerns about your doctor sound more than justified. I am embarrassed for her, since it sounds as though she is incapable of empathy and lacks the simple skill of observation. I hope you are able to get to the other side of the county.
Considering the eating disorder, Serzone is a good choice since it tends to cause less agitation and jittery feeling than the SSRI's and can lessen the anxious, obsessive feelings you may experience along with the depression. If it causes nausea when you start it and you can't tolerate it, cut the pill in half, or even quarter it for several days and try to eat a little before you take it, even some crackers would help. Then increase it slowly every 3-4 days.
Is emergency Medicaid an option for you? That may open some opportunities to see another doctor. Just a thought.
