as the person before me said, i dont think you could sue. if you started seeing signes of depression, you should have stopped taking the medicine right away and bring it to your docotrs attention right away. you said you were a lot younger when you started taking the medicine, and your 17 now, you had plenty of time to realize it and stop taking that medication. also, being depressed didnt MAKE you smoke pot. that was your decision. you bought the pot and smoked it, not your depression. so you yourself could have prevented it. so, my person opinion is that you wouldnt win if you sued your doctor, sorry!

you should contact your lawyer. i am prettily sure that you might probably win for an inaccurate diagnosis and emotional damage, and you CAN (note that i say "can", not may or will.) sue him if ya want. actually, anybody can sue anybody, but it that doesnt decide that you win.
best of luck~~~

I don't think you could sue. He was obviously trying to help you and doctors do get it wrong sometimes when they are trying to diagnose you.
Also, it wasn't his fault that you smoked pot, that was your decision, not his You didn't HAVE to smoke it. There's millions of people who suffer terrible depression, including myself, and we don't smoke pot.
So no, i really doubt that you would have a case.

I suppose you could always try...or your parents could anyway. However if they could prove you used other drugs you probably wouldn't win. Most drugs don't mix very well and can have adverse affects, such as depression.
