[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Maybe her life plain sucks right now and it’s not depression?

That’s fair. [b]We don’t have enough info, which is why i suggested a call to her doctor. [b]Better to check in and get whatever support that the family needs.[/b][/b][/quote]

Responses like this are so frustrating. There's an answer/solution to everything! Just call your doctor and get "support"!
I suppose if OP is dealing with depression a doctor [i]might[/i] be able to help her, but if she isn't then the doctor can't do anything. [/quote]

Are you projecting because of a bad experience with a doctor, PP?

You do realize that unless OP (or anyone) at least gets evaluated, she cannot know either way whether she might need help--?

Your way of thinking would have her just shrug and say, "Well, even if a doctor says I have depression, the doctor might not be able to help so there's not much point in finding out."

You can say that's not how you meant it but it's how someone else could read it--especially someone who is hopeless already. Like, perhaps, someone who's depressed.

You say "better to check in [with a doctor] and get whatever support the family needs", the implication being that calling a doctor = "getting whatever support the family needs''. There are SO many things a doctor can't help with. Sure, it's worth a call, but in no world does "checking in with a doctor" mean "getting whatever support [one] needs". Would that it did!

You can say that's not how you meant it, but it's how someone could read it.[/quote]
