"I agree, it's interesting and it's something I've thought to be the case for a long time. I've been offered anti depressants because of my feelings about my personal circumstances. I don't see how anti depressants are going to help me get around my house without agonising pain, how anti depressants might speed up seeing medical specialists or change my circumstances as a parent. All of the aforementioned are why I am struggling to stay chipper. " It’s no wonder you’re struggling in that situation, and I agree about anti-depressants.

It's peculiar as a fair chunk of the hcp are themselves women. We had a thread a few years ago about the sexism in provision of healthcare even in testing of drugs. Eye opening and appalling.
