Today I went and picked up my late husbands medical records and what I found made me sick. First of all he admitted to his "doctor" i'd like to call him something else-anyway he admited to having no interest in life in August of this year. He also admited to being depressed with all the pain from his back and how much it was affecting his life. So, the doctor sends him out the door with a perscription for meds and no follow up and says good luck. Hmm.....
Did you know that every 16 minutes in the U.S someone commits suicide- 33,000.0 people a year. Unfortunatly this is a subject people don't want to talk about, but it needs to be talked about.
If you have a loved one that takes anxiety or depression pills have they read the warning labels? Do they have some type of follow-up with their doctor scheduled? If not they should...... I lost my husband and my dear friend to this and don't ever want anyone else to have to experience the pain I feel and my dear friend is feeling. This has forever changed my life and my kids and if I can help but one person than I will. Thank you
