My opinion is that the current catagories of depression need to be expanded or revamped. There is a spectrum of disorders that don't always fit into neat simple boxes. My pdoc sometimes thinks I have some bipolar symptoms, but he's not sure where I fit. We are just beginning to understand how the mind/brain works, and we have a long way to go.
-and just because something is "treatment-resistant" doesn't mean there isn't a biological cause. There are depressions that were "treatment-resistant" ten years ago that today can be eradicated with a pill.
