It makes me so mad that our pain and other symptoms are ignored because of mental illness

and it happens all to often !
I agree with getting another doctor if you can. You can interview a doctor and tell them up front "I have depression and I want to know if you will listen to me when I have pain and not automatically dismiss it as "only depression" the look on their face will tell you what they think.
