One day you are feeling perfectly healthy, the next you are experiencing symptoms of fogginess, racing heart, low blood pressure, so you do what anyone would do…

You go to your primary care physician for help.

You describe the symptoms you are feeling and 10 Minutes later, less time then you spent in the waiting room, after just a brief conversation and no other testing, no other blood work, your MD, you Family Practitioner prescribes you an antidepressant.

That can’t happen, right?

Think again.
