You might tell your PCP you’d rather rule out other medical issues first. Have they ruled out heart, blood pressure, kidney and thyroid issues?

I was misdiagnosed for years until I asked for a chest X-ray which revealed my enlarged heart. You are wasting your time, money and energy on a psychiatrist/antidepressants until you’ve ruled out other possible health conditions.

Antidepressants are great for many people but not effective for me. I gave them a good try. I won’t take them and no apologies from me, either.

Good luck.
