anxiety leads me into depression

Posted by just plain jane on September 22, 2004, at 20:15:30

so why do the doctors who treat me for other things ALWAYS ask how long I have been taking meds for depression???
I tell them I am taking meds for the anxiety, the depression is secondary to the anxiety, and they give me that "lady, you don't know what you're talking about" condescending look.
Has anyone had depression precede anxiety?? Seems like a bassackwards idea to me.
Besides, most regular docs don't seems to know as much as they would like you to believe they do about psychological "disorders".
