I feel I have to throw a qualifier in here. Happiness and sadness are normal. But when the anxiety and sadness are out of proportion to reality, then it is a sign of a disorder and needs to be treated. When I could no longer go to work, I knew it wasn't normal or appropriate and needed to be treated. And nostatic is right about GP's. They mean well, but they often don't grasp the seriousness of the disorder and don't prescribe aggressively enough. And some take the approach that being "functional" is good enough. But my doc didn't agree. He felt that being
fully cured was the only acceptable outcome. And I thank him every day for that attitude.
