Why do doctors persist in asking whether you have depression? A plethora of questions about it before you can have a sinus infection evaluated. I have lingering anxiety from a dysfunctional childhood. I don't believe the 2 are the same.

It’s interesting that you say that. They misdiagnosed me for decades. The screener asks certain questions about “thinking about death” as trying to get at self-harm ideation. But had they asked about “obsessional thoughts about dying” they’d have figured out what was going on much sooner!
