and wants me to see a psychiatrist. I am a bit stunned and don't think she is correct. I had been willing to give her original diagnosis a shot and took the citalopram she prescribed. After a couple of months I went back to see her, told her nothing had changed. I was still tired, slept a lot, couldn't concentrate, get the bare minimum done. She changed antidepressants, diagnosed severe depression. Trouble is, I don't feel down, I enjoy things, look forward to seeing friends, have a laugh. Tho I prefer my own company, always have. Everything takes more of an effort than it used to. My brain isn't as sharp as it used to be, I am very slow at doing things. I really feel I am not depressed. Is it possible to be depressed and have absolutely no idea? I feel the gp has 20 years experience that I shouldn't dismiss. I am on thyroxine, level normal. I have had low iron, take daily supplement, level normal. I have endometriosis and am otherwise healthy. I have been tired for 4 years now, gradually getting worse. I would appreciate any advice. Apologies if I have written loads, hope you stuck with it!
