They may use the same umbrella diagnosis, but when you seek treatment different causes of depression are all separately tested for. Food-mediated things are not top of mind, not in the least because nutrition is poorly understood and incredibly personal besides. That's something much easier investigated on your own (something you are taught the tools for when you seek therapy).
- knaik94 5y agoI have sought therapy, I was not separately tested. I was not taught these tools. That's my personal experience with therapy. Not every therapist is the same. There's an even bigger problem when it comes to the standards of therapy. I have strong opinions about this because I have been through the system. I prefer not to go into further detail however.
- krageon 5y agoIn my experience the difference between a fast (but incomplete) diagnosis and a much slower (but comprehensive) one is going to a single psychiatrist vs an institute. Your point is reasonable, of course. There is big variability between doctors.
