Lack of understanding from some professionals

I find it frustrating how so many people are isolated and suicidal, and it

should be understood that one size doesn't fit all and not everyone is

attention seeking. Apart from some of us being susceptible to depression,

traumatic experiences can cause long standing problems if left untreated. It's very difficult when you are trying so hard and the only thing you get is patronising, how can this give anyone confidence. I always hope that I

might make friends with another woman in my area who has been through similar experiences.

    Hi unhappy I have experienced the same thing,you feel as if you are getting nowhere,and I am male,when you go to drs you expect to be treated with respect,empathy by someone who is caring who listens and understands.

    I am fearful of going to drs as I feel that they think you are wasting their time,my dr never looks up from his computer screen,when he does you get I know better than you attitude

      Hi, it's a disgrace isn't it, when they have everything cosy they don't realise how some people who are decent and intelligent didn't have their chances. It affects everything, I have some relatives who don't give a damn, hope you are getting support

    Thanks for letting us know about DISH on Facebook, however when I do a search on facebook for D.I.S.H. on facebook, nothing comes up except Dish network and food sites., Could you post a link from facebook?

    This should be a good place to network with others dealing with this disease
