From what you have written here over the years, you don't have a serious depression. If you did have it, you would know exactly what they are describing! It sounds like you have much more of a dysthymia/anxiety type of situation.
I think it would be very helpful to work with your new pdoc on knowing exactly what is bothering you, and working out a really good treatment plan with him.
I don't mean this in a critical way, at all, but at times it seems as though you are very worried about having all the difficulties that other posters have. This is probably because your anxiety is so high. Why not make a list of Babble diagnoses and ask your pdoc whether or not you have them also. He will surely say that you don't have MDD, bipolar or psychosis, but will probably say that you do have an anxiety disorder.
Just saying....
