Idk if this has been your experience but... I've literally had healthcare practitioners tell me that genetics are a fad. What are they doing? I can't cope. I had a specialized a pharmacological genetic panel to see what was actually going on and select meds more likely to work on me. Cool. Had good success with meds. Even cooler. Went to PCP and had them tell me I should just try Xanax or whatever and that genetics isn't "settled science." Same doctor also told my granny she can't take a different type of supplement (had to be prescribed, she was in a care home) because there was no proof it was better. It was absolutely not worse, though, this person just hates science.

I was going to write a long diatribe, but my main issue is…so often the discussion stops at the diagnosis. What’s the follow up? How are we managing? When is medication necessary? Etc. I also just think the never ending onslaught of information/alternative information online and the hustle of the real world during these turbulent times is incredibly mentally taxing on everyone so…yeah.
