I looked at my doctor one day and I was feeling pretty good and I could see he was having a "bad" day and I asked him if he was ever depressed. He said yes and that is why I think he can relate so much to the way I feel and always be able to give me hope when I feel there is none left.
It helps to have experienced depression for oneself tobe able to relate it personally. I would never hold having depression against him as a negative thing, I consider it positive and it is obvious he has experienced alot of the same things as myself.
Could you imagine a doctor that hasn't been there to be able to relate to what you are feeling with any honesty having never felt those intense and devastating emotions.
I wasgladto hear him say this although we never discussed this in any more detail, except when he says it will geet better I do believe him from the way he can relate to me.
