Downsides to a Major Depression diagnosis?

Posted by crushedout on January 31, 2005, at 19:23:25

My T and I are trying to decide what my diagnosis should be to make sure I get insurance coverage. I think I want her to put Major Depression (for other reasons that I don't necessarily want to get into) but she is hesitant. She has no problem doing it if she finds that I fit the criteria (which I think she will), but she says she shies away from that dx. I asked her why but she didn't seem clear.
Are there downsides to this dx? Could it come back to haunt me? Under what scenario? Anyone have any experience with this or thoughts on it?
Thanks.
