For those of you who have sought help and have a dx of recurrent major depression...
you know how the dx code is 296.3x
296 being major depression
3 being recurrent
x being severity (1 mild, etc)
Has your doctor ever changed the 'x' to match your depression at the moment or is it just kind of superfluous and he/she has left it at whatever it was when they first saw you?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
i'm confused.
My psych always puts it on the receipt he gives me..I guess so I can turn it into the insurance company.
But I know my depression has gone from mild to severe with out any change in the last descriptive number. I was just wondering if it's common practice not to change it once it's established.
