I am sorry that Mayo is not giving you the right advice, nor is willing to look a bit deeper into what is happening to you. Go over that doctors head, and seek a patient advocasy person. Depression in many cases is CAUSED by the physical problem. It sounds to me like the particular doc you saw is over worked and has forgotten compassion. Mayo when I went in l980 was good. It is sad to hear they are not really doing what needs to be done for you. Psych evaluations are always good, but the sourse of the pain and injury needs to be addressed just as much. Look for the patient advocasy group there. Don't give up. NT. is a good place. The doctor is wrong. None of us diagnose anyone, we only give our opinions, and believe me without those opinions, I would not have done as well as I did with my own problems. Friendships help you to cope. Maybe the doc. could use a friend....keep in touch and don't get discouraged. ginnie
