    It’s still hard for to believe I was denied renewal of a medication I was already on for years for serious mental health problems, because “maybe you just need to get out more,” or “might be on your period.” By multiple Canadian GPs.

    It took two years of waiting for a female psychiatrist to find someone who was like “Oh yeah, you’ve got severe depression, ADHD, AND psychosis from untreated severe depression, let’s get you on meds ASAP.”
