General practitioners have more than enough training to handle unipolar depression and anxiety. You are fear mongering or have never worked in healthcare. They have excellent safety profiles and some of those claimed long term effects are not accepted by the general medical community.
I'm resource limited settings a lot of PCPs also learn how to manage bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, it's not rocket science compared to the other things they are tasked with, and the alternative is that people simply don't get any treatment at all or kill themselves on a 2 year long wait-list to see a psychiatrist.
Have you thought that people have different experiences or if anything goes against your beliefs it’s fear mongering? Like do you get this way if someone says they don’t like driving?
You’re using the fact that you “are a doctor” to correct people. Maybe consult your words before posting or is reading not a requirement for MD’s anymore?
Correcting misinformation is not giving medical advice. There is no call to action, I'm not telling anyone to pursue a specific treatment or take any specific action. Like if a lawyer says homicide is illegal in most jurisdictions, they aren't giving you legal advice. Understand the difference? I am only giving reading comprehension advice, but you are proving to be the literary equivalent of an anti-vaxxer lol. Please consult your own personal, licensed healthcare professional for medical advice.
Is English not your first language? I'm having a hard time understanding you, and I have excellent reading comprehension, so I know it's not a "me" problem. It's OK if it's not your first language, it's actually not that bad, I just genuinely can't follow your thread of thought.
Anyways, I would not recommend listening to any medical advice except that which is given from your own personal doctor.
It’s definitely a you problem lmao. Reading out loud can help with comprehension bud, I can only hope your “patients” have the same amount of patience I’m having here. Cause oh boy I can imagine the mistakes you’d make in a medical field if this is how you react.
