In reply to Atypical depression vetted out of studies?, posted by River1924 on March 10, 2007, at 17:13:41
Hey River,
Just seen this- that's great! I hope they actually pay attention. I can't believe my GP won't even aknowledge that atypical depression exists- he waved it off and told me that that's irrelevant when choosing a treatment. It is so sad that there's huge numbers of us out there suffering and we just don't seem to get much focused help. I wonder if it is because there are less biological correlates with this type of depression, and it makes doctors think of it as either something the patients have control over or something that fits into the domain of psychologists rather than psychiatrists.
I'm still trying to find a psychiatrist who specialises in atypical depression, so we could try and get them as gust experts, but no luck so far...
