When they say it is all in your head they're blaming you for their inability to identify the problem that you have. Plain and simple. As a pain patient I am very Vigilant as to my state of mind and whether or not depression is creeping back in or not. Depression and pain are not the same thing however being depressed when you have pain will change the way you experience that pain and will make it much worse and much harder to deal with.. if a if a doctor tells you they think you're depressed it's certainly worth inspecting that idea and and answering for yourself whether or not you might be depressed. Remember depression is not about what happens to us, depression is about the way we think about what has happened to us. Now I'm going to go and take my antidepressants. There should be no more shame involved with having depression than there is in having pain. It's all the same. Love and blessings.
