I have a repeated problem with doctors assuming hard-to-pin down problems are psychological & suggesting anti-depressants. They were suggested when I reported an agonising pain behind one eye & nothing else done until it turned in completely.

They were suggested when I started passing out randomly. Panic attacks diagnosed & my sincere question about whether I shouldn't also experience some kind of panic or at least a mild anxiety ignored. Turned out my blood pressure drops suddenly for no reason. Its very annoying.

I don't know why I keep being suspected of being depressed. I'm quite a smiley person & I do not lack motivation or concentration or interest in things, ffs. The opposite is true. Bit too intense.

Sleep apnea? I have sleep apnea which, annoyingly, hasn’t gone away despite the weight loss.
-
I just don't sleep much.
-
With sleep apnea you don’t. Or do you mean you just can’t go to sleep?
-
I can't go to sleep.
-
Ah. I have that problem too. My mind doesn’t like to shut off and I have problems going to sleep. Especially if I’m writing something.

Have you had full bloods done? Often depression can be a function of endocrine system being suboptimal eg thyroid.
-
Or was this a joke that went over my head! Oops.
-
No. It was serious. I'm not remotely depressed. I just don't sleep. But I have had blood tests recently and all was well. :)
-
Good news. Maybe
@MichaelSagnerMD might be able to point you in the right direction! -
maybe the interesting markers were not checked for? minerals, hormones... ?
-
No, I don't think they were. I'll try more exercise and some winding down first and then get persistent.

This made me think of Sheldon Cooper's catch phrase "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested."

But you can’t have a clean bill of mental health. I mean you’re on twitter.
