Adjustment disorder? Something else?

Posted by Civ on March 12, 2004, at 12:00:42

I had major surgery in May 2003 and since that time I've been a dramatically different person. In the last 10 months, I have experienced at one time or another: an inability to concentrate, generalized anxiety, BDD, major depression. I've also had a number of physical complaints like fatigue, body aches, digestion problems, cold hands and feet, et al. I don't really know what's going on. Is it physical? All in my head? I had a lot of basic blood testing done and everything is fine except for the fact that I have an iron deficiency and *possibly* low testosterone levels (there seems to be some suspicion that the assay done was misrepresentative). Every medical doctor that I talk to just wants to give me a prescription for a SSRI. Only my pdoc, who I've been seeing since August, thinks there could be a physical component to all my troubles. I was wondering if this could be adjustment disorder; however, according to the DSM, my symptoms should have resolved within 6 months.

Any thoughts?
