It seems rather odd to me. Doctors tend to hand out antidepressants like candy. Even during my few episodes that were clearly clinical depression, I did smile on occasion, and laugh on occasion. I mean, apart from all else, it's possible to have those reactions on an external basis while feeling quite different on the inside. Most of us have a "front" we can show to the world. And your average pdoc knows that. Perhaps he's talking about more than a simple smile?

Any chance of seeing a second doctor for a consult?
