Because healthcare in America is a for-profit business, their number one goal is to profit off of you. Helping you is number two (maybe a distant number two). Please just always keep this in mind. Especially in mental healthcare. Fight for your rights. Do not just blindly follow whatever the doctors say/prescribe. Press them. Do your own research. Know your own mind/body. Demand what you know you need.

FINALLY, a lovely psychiatrist with a functional brain AND a soul listened to me, and prescribed me what I actually needed. That was attempt #6.
