Thanks for the link. It brings up some things that I am often concerned about.

For example this part

"Common culprits include under- or over-active thyroid glands, which can cause depression and anxiety, respectively. Deficiencies of vitamins D, B-12 and folate, as well as hormonal changes and sleep disorders have also been linked to depression."

When I went to my GP and told him about my symptoms he never suggested to test for thyroid problems or vitamin deficiencies but recommended I rest and relax for a month or two. The first pdoc I saw immediately prescribed an AD without ordering any bloodwork.
Without a doc recommendation, I went to the lab and paid for the tests myself and it turned out I had hypothyroidism, vitamin deficiencies and elevated levels of a few hormones.

Now that I have a mi diagnosis, when I go to regular doctors they don't seem to take my symptoms seriously because they blame everything on the mi.
