. Another incompetent GP ignored me at first when I started to suffer from bad depression ("that's normal, come back if you feel worse...").

:eek2:

The second GP, who referred me for therapy, was the best doctor I've ever seen, and took time to show my how to clean my self harm wounds rather than just fobbing me off with ADs.

I got told by a GP that he would never just fod me off with ADs when I went to see him about my self harm.
