[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her attorney has stated she was prescribed up to 12 psych meds since October 2022. If true, she was likely having major side effects from the mixtures of these meds. There is absolutely no need to prescribe this many psych meds to an otherwise mentally healthy young woman, this is just disgraceful although this is what I suspected. She was grossly overmedicated to the point of possibly causing psychosis. These physicians just hand out SSRIs and anxiolytics like candy, [b]it should only be a psychiatrist doing this not pcp and obgyns[/b]. We don’t all need to take SSRIs, there’s something really wrong with our society if we all need emotional blunting. [/quote]

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand what it's like to live in an area without enough doctors, let alone specialists. Or what it's like to be poor and not be able to afford to see a specialist when a GP can treat them. There's such a stigma surrounding mental health issues, sometimes patients who need help are reluctant to see a psychiatrist because they're not crazy, just depressed, but they'll take treatment from their GP. PPD is part of screening at OBGYN and newborn pediatric checkups for a reason. You expect a new mom with a new mental illness adjusting to all the changes happening while not getting enough sleep to be able to self screen and deal with all the appointment wait times and insurance issues to start seeing a psychiatrist for PPD when OBGYNs see and treat that all the time?

Why are you trying to make healthcare more inaccessible for the people who need it most? [/quote]
