<p>You need to tell your psychiatrist about the MDD. If they haven't heard of this addiction, once you describe it they should understand it immediately. I understand that you want to be creative, so you'll miss your MDD but to what end does DDing help you in the real world? Do you sell your stories to help feed your children? I don't want to come across as unsympathetic here, but you have 3 children who depend on you. You've quit 6 jobs so you can stay home and DD. I"m not a…</p>

I"m not a psychiatrist but I've struggled with MDD for over 50 years and learned that it is an addiction. One that can be controlled. Just like over eating.

<p>If you're not going to mention MD to your psychiatrist, your visit is completely futile. It is like telling them you have depression but not mentioning you're a drug addict.

<p>If you're not going to mention MD to your psychiatrist, your visit is completely futile. It is like telling them you have depression but not mentioning you're a drug addict. Fantasy addiction is not unheard of in psychiatry and if a psychiatrist knows how to use a brain, he will know to introduce you to a proper approach. Instead of saying you have some newly found disorder they have never heard of, just say you have a debilitating addictive habit that's consuming both your mental energy and time. You cannot make a mistake here. But if you don't mention this, then they can never give you a proper therapy. <br/><br/>Secondly, severe MD, anxiety and panic disorders need psychotherapy, not just medication. In many cases, medication will just mask the symptoms and you'll stop one negative aspect of the disorder but another one will appear. If you feel that your doctor just prescribes you meds and doesn't care about getting to the core of your problem, change the doctor. Ultimately, you don't have to sacrifice absolutely anything to get better. But before you can reach this point, you have to throw away your safety zone and walk right into your fears.</p>
