Yes, that's a good approach.
Anti-depressants certainly can be little more than placebos in some cases, but when they're not, the side affects can be a lot worse than any benefits.

Unfortunately most doctors these days just want to pump drugs into your body without even the slightest hesitation.
Alternative or Natural treatments are hardly ever considered & are frowned upon. Your Kidneys & Liver can cop only so much until they start to not function properly.
Depending on the severity of your ailment there's always other options.

i'm sceptical of the big pharmaceutical companies because it's good to be sceptical of all medical advice and because part of their purpose is to make money but i'm not paranoid about them. it's in their finanncial and reputational interest for them to produce stuff that works. case by case basis

A rushed race for profits. Imagine the safety checks that were followed, not.

Well you're both right to a point but I do disagree with the rejection of vaccination.
I was a poster boy for ageing. Devilishly handsome in a maturing Paul Newman sort of way, impressive physique from my years in the Second Row and tough as the proverbial. Then I fell from a ladder, tore the shoulder badly, broke the wrist. Somehow the immune system went haywire and then 5 years of PMR (stiffness in all of the joints), My impression of the effective use of pharmaceuticals is a positive one accepting that mine was not as serious or as difficult to treat as a lot are. Think I'd rather be with 'em than without 'em in a clutch,
I'm sorry to hear that Eddie has been so unwell and so unnecessarily unwell, It's all our worst nightmare being misdiagnosed or ill informed, You've gotta be on it.
My long time GP was a jewish fella in Waverley, Adam Gershwind. The place was lino and cheap panelling, no appointments, Adam in baggy army shorts with brces rushing to and fro. He took care of everything that he had you down to get and probably extras. Every appointment was a thorough check up and detailed recording. And he bulk billed which is our heritage. Rich and poor.
I'm about to sack the bloke who took his place when Adam retired because he ann I sospect most others, are not proactive. You have to ask him for things.

I personally don't see anything great about a vaccine that doesn't stop you catching & spreading the virus. Also to be told you need it injected every 3 months or so for it to be effective.
Not to mention the health problems it has given some people.

We can all only go off personal experience with our views & mine aren't that pleasant with what it has done to two of my relatives.
