Hey Ted,
I got that too. Treatment resistant depression. I've had pdocs say on the phone that they don't want to take on such a difficult CASE. (great to think of yourself as a CASE, anyway) And they didn't say they couldn't help me, just that they didn't have the time or energy it would take.
Jeez, when you're already fighting for life.

p.s., I do know one dpoc who I met with and thought was very strange and didn't go back. (like he has both voice mail and a beeper, and he answers his regular, non-emergency phone when he is in session and then gets annoyed that you are interrupting him.) He's called me several times since to say he wants to try to help me. So maybe for some, I can be looked at as a challenge.
