OP literally says: This literally is the thread to talk all about yourself. Everybody in this thread talks about themselves lol. You are just annoyed for your precious NHS being called out for what it is. And seriously, imagine entering a 'mental health thread' and telling people to calm...

Its no wonder everything is diagnosed as depression. If you tell any clinician in the UK you have mental health concerns, the only thing you are asked about is suicidal and self harm questions. The NHS only recognises 'depression / anxiety' as 'mental health'. Anxiety is what they diagnose...

You can literally pick up any psychology text book and look up fatigue / depression with fatigue / depression with insomnia, I already have. Fatigue is the opposite to insomnia. SSRIs and other knockout drugs work for insomnia. Fatigue with normal sleep needs stims. Apparently the UK is the...

Why exactly is it literally impossible for anyone in the UK to believe that someone can be tired all the time despite having zero sleep issues? Why is this always misdiagnosed as depression?

6 different ADs, none of them worked, all make my symptoms worse, and the only thing NHS psychiatrists do is try to push get another one onto me, because to everyone working under the nhs, any 'chronic fatigue' = depression. And people in this thread have the nerve to keep defending these...

No point to banning guns when such people would just use other weapons instead, but I didn't even know you could have firearm permits in the UK.

Private doctors don't need to care about the cost of the healthcare. The NHS won't tell you directly, but the reason they routinely refuse referrals and treatments is due to their cost. Even a lot of doctors don't realize as such and simply follow the guidelines that say not to use certain...

Well the doctor I spoke to today didn't even know what Modafinil was and needed me to repeat it 10 times or so. A previous psychiatrist has stated I couldn't have that because its methamphetamines and too addictive when it isnt (I have a script for tramadol anyway which is far more addictive)...

Everything is basically put down as depression and ignored. If 6+ different anti depressants don't work then its put down as an untreatable behaviour disorder. I straight up have narcolepsy and need stims. Its that simple. Everything else is a result of this not being treated. I really doubt...

I score maximum points on depression and a few points below maximum on anxiety. Multiple assessments have concluded 'Needs to be seen urgently', these are scattered throughout my medical history. I'm still never seen for an appointment for anything more than with another GP that doesn't have a...

I said in the US, where it is also prescribed for fatigue and low motivation. I have 33% of the symptoms of ADHD. mainly the fatigue and zero focus parts, which are the exact symptoms that any of Buproprion, Modafinil, Ritalin or Adderall can treat. The NHS refuses these medications for any of...

If its my own responsibility then how come I can't simply buy the meds that would work OTC? I have been routinely told that if I lived in the US I would have straight up been handed adderall since day one. I've not even ever asked for that, but I can't get a single thing at all to treat...

I'm not trying to sue them, I thought about it. It would help because I could actually afford to live? How else do I pay for the rest of my life expenses? How the **** do I fix the fact that on most days I am 100% incapable of even getting out of bed or walking down the stairs?

So why does the NHS keep refusing to help me? Everytime I get to see a doctor or a specialist they say the exact same thing - 'You're speaking to me fine right now and got here today so how can you have anything wrong?', followed by a refusal of any treatment or meds other than more SSRIs (I've...

Lol I literally tell everyone what is wrong with me and that I am the problem but somehow I'm in denial. The NHS wont give me anything because it costs them too much. The NHS know I'm suicidal and I am diagnosed with multiple letters on my medical history saying 'needs to be seen urgently'...

How can I do this when the NHS refuse any kind of 'therapy'?

The NHS refused my sleep clinic referral. In fact every referral any GP has made for me for anything more than depression / anxiety has been refused every time. I have narcolepsy and potentially ADHD, I have debilitated since I was 12, and the NHS does absolutely nothing but hand me drug after...

Got me a GP appointment today after screaming at 111 all day yesterday, still telephone only. Mostly to try another last ditch attempt at getting my chronic fatigue / lethargy helped which I believe is due to narcolepsy. I realized they misdiagnose everything 'mental health' based as depression...

'Peoples bodies / bones normally deteriorate as they get older, for you that just happens a lot faster!' My first physiotherapist.

Well not sure if these are jumping spiders, but they're the friends I keep in my house, until they stop moving that is: I had 3, one died, the other got super slow and nearly dead so I put it outside, only one left.
