Depression changes reality?

Posted by dave40252 on June 13, 2002, at 14:41:51

I've been fighting depression for a long time, the last two years with meds (alot)and a pdoc. I have noticed that reality changes between the times when the meds are working and when they are not - by this i don't mean i am hallucinating or anything - i mean my reactions or how i percieve the meaning of things or my interpretation of things is very very different. This is especially true with my relationships, when depressed i see my relationship with my wife as falling apart, she doesn't care for me, etc. When the meds are working i percieve the same events, conversations, etc as having no negative ramifications. Trouble is i am always wondering which interpretation of things is true....
does anyone know what i am talking about?
