Is this the same sid I've talked with for the last several months? Somehow I never imagined you as a person having wild mood swings, highly impulsive behaviour, psychotic episodes, self-destructive, ad nauseum. I agree with Mitch that it's the latest 'fad' label to stick someone with.
Depression can manifest itself in many different ways in individuals. I'm never sad or depressed when I'm suffering from depression. Without knowing you way better, sid, I'd say your doctor's opinion is a load of crock.
Really, they don't see us long enough each appointment to truly know us & place a realistic label that fits us. I do know they're trained to look for certain signs, but I know the way I feel one day, won't necessarily be the same the next day. We're human & variable.
