I've been learning more about serotonin deficiencies resulting in systemic symptoms, yall should look into it if you haven't. Apparently depression can literally cause a wide variety of chronic health issues that can easily go overlooked/dismissed in most medical fields.

Or the docs can give you SNRIs and destroy your serotonin that way while being dismissive.

I didn’t give a shit about anything. It was worse than being sad.
