It seems that way. But in reality. She has been off the tablets for six weeks. She needs some meds to build up again in her system and then see how she is doing. However, a sympathetic person would check that in the mean time she has a support system and access to mental health services.
I can relate to that. GPs are seriously under educated on mental health treatment in my opinion. I’ve been at the doctor sobbing like this poor lady, fearful that my life may be in danger, and they dismiss suicidal thoughts like they’re nothing. Mental illness can be fatal! It can be as much of an emergency as a car accident. It often feels like doctors don’t realise that.
@@libsybum3591 - this is clearly a lottery. I had a massive resurgence of depression and used the message facility on my GP practice’s web site to flag the problem, had a phone call within an hour from a very understanding and supportive GP and was seen the following morning.

This is definitely not the norm 🙁 I have found, though, that one difference in my case is that I very clearly state my status, expectations and goals in the initial message. I’ve learned to do this after having had a bit of a run around when my mother had medical issues. Being able to maximise outcomes from minimum interaction seems to work.

He may have had another appointment waiting or just had no idea what to say (it doesn't seem like he had much experience with mental health problems). I do think he could have at least said that though to explain why he couldn't help more, and said something sympathetic, even if just 'that sounds extremely difficult, I'm sorry you're going through that'.
they only have 10 mins, and she wanted a psych, not a doctor, but he was a bit perfunctory i agree, i suppose he did nt want to get drawn and prolong the conversation. He needed to control the chat and may need more training.
@@whatshisname3304 Broke my heart. I agree, she just wanted to talk and he kept cutting her off with leading questions. You could tell she was very unhappy with him at the end. HE WAS BLOCKING HER EXIT! It's also strange, if she's been off her meds for 6 weeks, it usually takes 2 week of taking pills for them to have any effect - and that's when he wants to see her? just at the start of the effect?
You can tell how defeated that poor woman felt. She realised the doctor wasnt going to do anything more and shut off. Seems like the doctor noticed that and tried to seem more reassuring. GPs should be trained better in how to deal with mental health illness and how to be reassuring, supportive and actively listen to their patients.
@@JoJo-hg7tg 10 minutes is more than enough time to take someone that is asking for help seriously instead of playing it down. I get where you're coming from, GP's are not therapists and they are there to refer, not fix. But that doesn't mean that the bedside manor of some GPs in the UK in regards to mental health is honestly appalling, and realistically, harmful.
That Doctor with the lady suffering from depression, that was shocking! Obviously, they don’t show us the whole 5-10min appointment, but just judging by what I saw, that’s a CLEAR example of how poorly educated the NHS are regarding mental health. This NEEDS to be sorted ASAP.
She needs to see a *therapist* every week, not a GP. She also needs to be consistent with her meds - 6 weeks without filling them? This is the NHS - it's free at the point of service. Not being compliant with meds will WORSEN mental illness.
Yes clearly she is not getting the best treatment available and that doc failed horribly at not even attempting to treat her compassionately. The woman needed help NOW.
i felt so sorry for the girl at the beginning. Ive had a similar experience at a similar age, and its horrible and worrying. I never found the cause, hopefully they had more luck

Oh my, that lady with clinical depression. In my late teens I started experiencing depression. It became extremely bad, to the point of my often thinking of ending my life. At that time, depression was virtually not recognised and very little treatment or medication was available. It still besets my life after over fifty years (I'm 72), although to a far lesser degree and perhaps due to my being on fluoxetine for ten years or so now. Depression of this depth has certainly had a damaging effect over my life, but, in retrospect, I've learned that these dreadful periods do pass, whatever little comfort there is in knowing so. Robert, UK.
There are manuvers on you tube for the floating material that are stuck in the two circular tubes of the inner ear. It is easy to learn, helpful to be prepared for the possible extreme dizziness nausea while waiting in each part as these settle , in each position. Once out the relief is complete. Look under vertigo manuevar .
The guy trying not to talk during the BP reading was funny! I was chatting to a guy in hospital once when his oxygen sats dropped way down...the nurse told him he's banned from talking for a while. It's so difficult sometimes!
The little girl, in the way she explained what was happening, is exactly the same things that happen before and during the migraines I have. I was around her age when the doctors diagnosed me as having 'Cluster Migraines'. At first the doctors thought I had a inner ear infection, but after being treated for the inner ear infections, my symptoms had not gone away, in fact they had intensified. I would suggest the little girls Mother take her to a Neurologist to find out once and for all if she has migraines.
It might seem that way. She looked just like me when I went to the doctor, crying and hopeless but the medication saved my life. I was able to stabilise myself and my thoughts so I could put in place other tools to get better. I'm in a much better place now so due to come off my meds soon 🤞
I don't know what you'd expect him to do,they can't fix everything on the spot unfortunately, giving her a month of medication and a call back is about the best he could have done in that moment
@@KeeHart No, he could have put her through the computer based assessment to see how bad her depression level is, and offered to put her in touch with a support group or referred her for counselling.

I was originally diagnosed with POTs at the age of 18. I always was diagnosed with inappropriate sinus tachycardia, it was a very long process and all the doctors kept telling me It was anxiety but finally they figured it out
Labyrinthitis is no joke... I was hospitalised with my first occurrence and went everywhere with tablets for a couple of years... in case of a reoccurrence. After two occurrences it stopped.

My wife had similar symptoms. She couldn’t get out of bed and constantly felt like she was falling and had to grip the bed edges. This went on for several months, every minute of the day. It was so debilitating she couldn’t work and then lost her job which didn’t help with symptoms as anxiety and depression then set in too. It was a horrible time for us both.
