Find the right doctor who believes in weaning off. Most just want to prescribe. doctors don’t heal anymore, just pills pill pills, status quo and holding the symptoms down

Patently false. A good doctor will prescribe the right course of treatment. This comment is incredibly out of touch and a dangerous way of thinking

P1 I have professionals in my family and access to that so I’m asking for personal experiences. I also obviously see a professional regularly because I’m not getting them off of the street. I’m not trying to wean off myself on my own and i also know how properly to do so. But wanted to know pros and cons of others experiences. Thank you P2, my doctor asked the question in the past “why would you want to get off of them?”

Something that I didn't fully realise until recently is that almost everyone, regardless of industry, role or location, are showing signs of burning out. The 'new norm' is dealing with mental health issues, feeling tired, unmotivated or fed up. This helped me cope with it... I'm not alone, it's not just me... Sadly, very few team/project leads know or are willing to use empathy.
