@dr.matthew.parker: Depression 101: how do we diagnose MDD? Med students know it from the SIGECAPS mnemonic but generally depression causes clinical significant distress and impairment in multiple facets of a patients life with the discussed symptoms for a period of 2 weeks or more. Of course, context is important and we want to make sure organic causes are ruled out and major life circumstances aren’t pathologized. #MentalHealth #psychiatry #depression #depressionawareness #MentalHealthAwareness
So how did an ER physician diagnose me with this while I was there with kidney stones?

Synaerio :
So, I'm a Lv2 Autistic with Inattentive type ADHD. I also have GAD, MDD, cPTSD along with being resistant to pharmaceuticals & of course some learning impairment issues.
My entire life is maintained by drugs...
Vyvanse to stay awake + help the ADHD.
Clonidine + Remran + Paxil to aid with sleep. I also regulate myself with Marijuana throughout the day. The night meds & MJ also help with my anxiety, depression & irritation levels.
Clinically, I am disabled due to these impairments because of their severity.
