I feel like if he gets his way I’ll be prescribed sunshine, exercise, raw milk, and whatever drug a pharmaceutical bribed him to sell, instead of the immunomodulators I really need.
He’s like a mix of your uncle who thinks your chronic illness would go away if you “go outside and get some sunshine, stop being so negative, and eat more xyz” and your aunt who believes “acupuncture and supplements will cure you and all other medicines are a conspiracy”.
Ah yeah they have an obsession with antidepressants. It’s also what I was prescribed alongside with exercise instead of doctors actually looking my body and figuring out whats wrong with me.
The billions of dollars pharmaceutical companies have spent on drug trials trying to show antidepressants cure everything have influenced doctors. Now don’t get me wrong SSRI’s are quite helpful for some diseases like biological depression. But some doctors give them out like candy when they really shouldn’t.
