I'm not sure I've really had a real major depressive episode. All my "depressions" only last at most a couple of days. I wonder if those are enough to cause hippocampal atrophy?? I'm scared of hippocampal and frontal lobe atrophy. Maybe the SSRI's can prevent this.
I'm pretty darn sure my pdoc will not give me anything other than an SSRI. It would be nice to just take sometime when I feel really really upset, but I have a feeling things don't work like that. I just have to learn to deal with things.
I don't think there is DBT offered where I live, also I'm not sure I'm disordered enough to need it.
Thanks for the info
