Elle,
When I was depressed, people kept asking me "What does a pretty girl like you have to be depressed about?" But I heard it from people who didn't know about depression, not from doctors.
I would be upset if my pdoc said that because I am pretty, I shouldn't be depressed. I mean, I can't just say to myself, "oh yeah, I just remembered, I'm pretty, so I can stop being depressed now." Attractive, intelligent people get depressed all the time.
If it bothered you, I would bring it up with him next time.
Hope you don't mind my saying this. I am very protective in my mind about my pdoc too.
