When people have such symptoms and seek a diagnosis they are usually turned away with a prescription for antidepressants. If a doctor diagnoses these conditions they may be informed by the insurance companies they better stop, they can be removed from preferred provider lists, they may find themselves investigated by the state medical board - no complaint necessary, major employers that use chemicals will have them removed from provider lists as well. That is how it works. The doctor does not want the person to come back. People are thrown overboard into no medical care, poverty, and isolation.

What I just described I have seen first hand.
