After reading this I think I have demoralization.It all makes sense.
I have told many doctors I didn’t have depression because there are certain times I can laugh,and enjoy things.
The treatment of nasty doctors when I was a child in England set me up for this I think. The doctors there back in the late 40’s and early 50’s were cruel,and would smack children and shout them. Parents couldn’t say a word. They were too scared. Treated doctors and teachers like Gods.Of course they went through the same thing. My mother suffered with anxiety and depression or was it demoralization?

@brenda1944 ...born during war in uk 1943 .. another word: anxiety. I know I was born anxious! I will attest to the mean-ness of both doctors and teachers. We were frightened and intimidated by both. However now many teachers dare not look twice at a pupil and family drs,. at least here are overworked. Yep when i was about 8 got the cane across hand cos anotehr child and i spoke to the workmen working in playgrounds when we had been told not to: do that today and probably the school would be sued.

@brenda1944 hi just found my old post and read comments... I was in UK too born 1943 and scared stiff of famiy doctor and the school nurse. Mum took me in to see Dr.Haytden Ihad a very very sore fingertip and it was white, I may have been 7... he took out a folding knife held my finger and cut the white end off! No prep etc. Even my Mum was shocked. However, never got it back he said a Whitlow? At school the teachers would hit boys knuckles with ruler if they were talking etc.... My Mum born during ww1 and had us duirng ww2 and never compalined but looking back I would say she was anxious, just didnt show it to we kids. Now I am 82 and memories and illnesses I sometimes wonder if I just had a broken heart.
