Its true that they don't know everything, and in some cases when they have reason to believe that someone is suffering from anxiety or depression assume thats the casue... but... they did go through a lot of years of medical school so that they can help people. Some of those years in med school must have rubbed of on them ; ). And a lot of symptoms of depression and anxiety truely do mimic other health issues. But it IS thier job to look into all possibilties. I have had some terrible experiences with doctors, but I'd say the majority of doctors are good. Its that when we have experiences clsoe to us we tend to generalize out... and people are more likely to complain about something then they are to praise it so its normal to hear more about unhappy peoples experience then happy ones. If people are unhappy with their doctors, they shouldn't stay with them. And as patients, we have the right to get second, and third opinions and that really is what we should be doing, if someone doesn't trust thier doctor, they shouldn't stick around. Its our life and our health. this site is great for education about meds as long as we remember that each body reacts differnetly.
i do agree though, that blind faith in anyone is probably not the best way to think... and yes, a lot of people do that with doctors.
