Daughter in Law suffering from Anxiety
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Sep 24 9:02am | Replies (19)Comment receiving replies
I am referring to run of the mill anxiety and depression. The conditions that bother most of us from time to time. Example: Tell your doctor you haven’t been sleeping well they want to throw a sleep med at you maybe even an antipsychotic like Seroquel. You’re depressed because you hate your job, they want to throw an antidepressant at you. Having hot flashes? They want you to take the notorious Effexor. Pain? More antidepressants, probably Cymbalta. These doctors are horrible and horribly damaging their patients. They aren’t happy unless they’re writing a prescription and drugging people unnecessarily with these physchiatric drugs that can do so much damage.

This is accurate and spot on.
The worst part about it all is once given a “diagnosis”, that patient will run with that diagnosis as an identity and it gets added into their chart notes/medical history for every other doctor to see.
They suddenly become their diagnosis. Do you think it’s a little bit weird that all of these grown adults are now being “diagnosed” as ADHD. Back when I was growing up it was called taking on too much and not knowing how to prioritize.
GROWN women who have went through life fine as a child/teen and young adult NOW looking for a reason to say they are “overwhelmed”.
You do not have ADHD, it is that you are trying way to hard to live out social norms and move beyond your means. Period.
Anyhow-PCPs are glorified pharmacists and once you get sent to a specialist then you are in even more trouble because they definitely do not look at the body as a whole. You are seperated into parts.
There is a back surgeon whom left his practice as a surgeon because most lower back pain is stress related and he found too many unnecessary back surgeries not working or hurting patients because they needed an entire lifestyle overhaul and NOT a surgery.
