It used to be pretty widely accepted that there were two types of depression, one type (endrogenous) was helped my antidepressants, the other type wasnt.
What name they give the type that isnt helped by meds doesnt realy matter much, its extremely sad for people with that subtype that current drugs dont help them, but that cant be changed by indignation alone.
If you find Klonopin helps (and you can use it sensibly, as directed, with no self advised dose increases etc) then I would go to another psychiatrist and see if s/he is willing to prescribe, and basicly, keep seeking other opinions un til you find a sympathetic docotr who will help you. Sure you will become dependant on it, but if it helps you live a better, happier, fuller life, so what?
