Who knew?

Who knew there were doctors in the world who let you babble on about yourself for 45 minutes? Who knew there were doctors who would ask questions about your past, your family, your lifestyle, trying to really discern the patterns and the signs of what might need to be changed to make you a happier, healthier person?

I went to see one of those doctors yesterday. I am in awe. I'm also a good deal more hopeful about finding a way out of this depression. And perhaps even without medication.
