I thinks compartmentalization of symptoms
is a good idea, because as you say the
whole concept of "depression" is large
enough to contain too many aspects in
everyday life.But how to treat these details, in a
way that resembles a car mechanic, takes
a long time, with cooperation and understanding
on both parties.I don't know where you live, but where
I am from, we are having a crisis in
health care, not only in psychiatry (which
is very time-demanding) where specialists
are leaving for greener pastures, but in
just about all health care problems, except
perhaps breast cancer screening.I think it is a two-fold problem: the
patient gets cranky and the doctor gets
fed up. Personally, I have benefitted
from the net sites such as Dr. Bob's, but
here the personality comes into play as well.
