Uhmm, without talking to me my doctors at some point diagnosed me and out in my chart permanently, Anxiety and Reactive Depression, I've been on 6 different antidepressants since I was 14, I'm not on one currently none of them seemed to help me a ton, exercise and sunshine seems to help the most. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what Reactive Depression is? And what it means for me?

      a quick google search says that reactive depression results from external factors. This means that certain events in your life (losing a job, for example) may trigger your depression and also that external factors like sunshine may be more effective for your treatment than medication. I’ve never heard of this either but this comes from Google. If you’re using mychart feel free to send your doctor a message asking about anything you’re confused about.
