You are blessed, and one of the rare few, to have an honest pdoc. Maybe its too harsh to be so general in my comment re: honesty but they should at least have the opportunity to experience the withdrawal for themselves before making (or failing to make) a statement. IMHO it is difficult to see a patient in sever psychic pain, due to heavy depression, at the same time going through the agony of SSRI withdrawal. If we add to that the insult, "the whole thing is imaginary", that seems to me especially cruel.
You are very fortunate to have found a good one.
Good cheer
