One of the big researchers in the US is Hagop Akiskal. I found this article which includes info about him and many of the probable diagnosis-es you mentioned. http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.lieber.html

I don't know what system they use in your country but I'd recommend bringing in several of those depression tests from various dates. It will show you are serious and that your "appearance" may not give him the full story. Tell him/her what you think you might have (bring your own info) but in the end, the diagnosis is secondary to treatment. If he/she wants to label you a gorilla, that's fine if the treatment is correct.

After my niece's suicide, I found this workbook for "mixed depression." The first few chapters helped her father understand her state of mind. The therapy is similar to cognitive behavioral but was developed for "borderliners" and those with eating disorders. "Depressed and Anxious: The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workbook for Overcoming Depression & Anxiety "
