I've been diagnosed with endoreactive depression.
I've been searching on the net for hours and didn't find any article or essay describing this weird diagnosis.
I'm afraid is a psychodinamic diagnosis (psychoanalytically oriented). Psychoanliyitical theories usually pi** me off since they blame the patient believing his/she at fault, labelling him/her as immature and unaware. They think you have some secret advantages for being depressed, such as defending/withdrawing yourself from pain etc...
Besides that these theories don't have any scientific evidence: nonetheless, i'm curious about it :this weird, mysterious diagnosis it's been inside my head since yesterday, so i wanna know now.
I'm curious about which kind of immaturity i've been charged of.
Go ahead, your honour, Dr. Freud, condamn me to life long immaturity!
P.S.This diagnosis belongs to Dr. Weitbrecht's theories: he's a german psichiatrist : all the info i've found are written in german. Does anybody of you know german?
thanks for listeningAnna Laura
