Psychiatry Pseudoscience?

I had to talk my psychiatrist out of a depression diagnosis. Yeah, I feel down and depressed at times; everyone does; it's a fairly normal aspect of living. What I had to convince her of was my need to continue anti-anxiety medication. I know most of the anti-depressants out there are supposed to help with both. However, I have a very strong suicidal tendency when I am on an anti-depressant. When I'm on a medication specifically tailored toward anti-anxiety, in my case, Xanax, it's the only thing that helps keep the panic away. Pantophobia would be the closest thing to what I experience, which is no longer a diagnosis, interestingly enough.
