I screamed success too. In fact, I never even considered that I was depressed as I was screaming "success!" at myself too. What happened was that I burned myself out totally, and I mean TOTALLY!!!! I was to the point where I did NOT sleep. When I went to bed I would be exhausted and lie there knowing I needed to sleep but I would never actually *go* to sleep. I would sort of drift off into a dream but wake in an instant to any noise or peep, or thought. This went on for an entire year until I was so spent I thought I'd die and so I went to see a PA and told him all about my sleep troubles and HE said "you're depressed" and began to prescribe meds for it. I was so shocked, it made me cry (rememebr me? SUCCESS!) ANyway, I never suggested the idea myself, in fact, I was so suprised he said that and I did not beleive him but I was desparate for sleep so I gave into the meds (one was a sleep enhancer, the other AD). Looonnng story hopefully not too much longer, we did the med dance for a few years until we settled on my current regime and diagnosis and now, and not UNTIL now, I can see that I really WAS depressed (Bipolar *soft*, actually). So, it was really HIM telling ME, not Me telling Him. So, maybe just an accurate list of your symptoms is enough to convince him for the right meds? Sorry too, if I am totally off track here, long posts tend to get me confused! hope I am making sense
