Thank you so much Phoenix for your support and thoughtful note. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. And I agree that most people would fit into SOME dx in the DSMIV. The hard thing I think about depression and mental illness in general is that the treatment is so random, and mental illness is still so misunderstood. I liken some of the AD's and pills we take to chemo. The treatment is worse than the disease. And the stigma associated is pretty hard to endure--- even for someone like me who is a social worker. I'm so glad that you are feeling better on Nardil and I will definitely give it a go!
