Okay, but in your example, do you rush to the ER and demand a cast if you got a scrape?

There are people who have brief and circumstantial depression. It's not tied to their brain chemistry. Usually about money or a recent death in the family. That is able to be talked through-- and yet some doctors will absolutely just hear the keywords of "depressed" and "anxious" and write off a prescription for Xanax. This happens. I'm sorry if that's difficult to hear but that actually does happen.

And that's without even getting into doctors prescribing inaccurately. I myself was rotated through so many meds (and so many therapists, who were also awful) that made me feel a million times worse, because they were trying to baseline treat me for depression instead of actually working out what was really wrong with me (bipolar).

I'm sorry, but the system is not perfect and in some cases does harm. That does not mean that people shouldn't be on meds and be in therapy. It means that for-profit medical care will always focus on the fastest way to get a dollar, not on looking at nuance.

THIS. I've had doctors write me prescriptions and send me out the door when it turned out that what I really needed was surgery, not medication. A lot of doctors will absolutely jump to prescribing things first rather than taking the time and effort to figure out what's really wrong, in part because it's easier to tell someone to take two pills and call them in the morning and in part because it's in their financial interest to prescribe something instead of saying "just monitor your symptoms and let me know if they get any worse."
