Thread: Seeking a depression diagnosis

And, in case anyone's interested, a google of "diagnostic criteria for depression" returned a list of criteria, 5/9 of which one has to fulfill to be diagnosed with the condition. Depending on whether I look at it skeptically or hypochondrially (it's a word... now), I fit between four and eight of the criteria.

I'm obviously not dumb enough to suggest or think that an internet diagnosis holds any weight, ever, but it does seem to suggest that seeing someone is worthy of consideration.
