I'm wondering what the medical establishment would "do about" me if I had an official dx
from 3 psychiatrists as MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDER - I've avoided psychiatrists for some time. With my allergies to ALL the meds they have prescribed, by a psychiatrist and then
general doctors... what would they "do" with this "problem"
.
I think I already know there isn't a helpful answer for me other than therapy which isn't sufficient alone for some MAJOR MI?
I'm sorry for ranting. I have to log off for now or I'd edit and tidy up this post.
If you can't answer, it's ok..
Please, I only want an answer from little turtle on this one
The doctors perceive my allergies as relatively trivial. Maybe that's because I haven't gone back there every week or month
. I have no answer other than avoiding them
. My meds are on repeat prescription. I was prescribed oral steroids once, I didn't take them (the doctor who prescribed these did try to listen and I think knew I didn't take them
I don't think my "problem" is ...
