Maybe the 'likelihood' of receiving another diagnosis is reframed and individualised as 'recurrent depression' or 'recurrent anxiety'. It becomes a diagnosis in itself. Your question could definitely be usefully posed at a (free) conference that I was recently mailed about (see attached), although it may be a form of self-harm to go to the conference and sit through the presentations in order to ask the questions!!

Dear John Crombie,
How very frustrating. I just tried googling "Life course of
depression" and think there was something possible there. I'd
contact one of the top consultants who writes about depression
and ask directly. I am sure there is material on tendency for
suicide attempts to be repeated, and that might be another
approach. Best wishes, Erica Brostoff
