"Medicine"
Today I had an appointment with a neurologist for my unending migraines. This doctor was super concerned that I was not currently seeing a psychiatrist (thanks opiod crisis for making the rest of us wait 8+ weeks to get help!). The neurologist wanted to prescribe me both an antidepressant and an antiepileptic drug, which I thought was odd since he was super adamant that my migraines are probably due to depression and a psychiatrist would apparently be able to prescribe drugs better? It occurred to me how fucked up it is that a neurolgist and psychiatrist both study the brain but neurolgists treat the brain as if emotions are seperate from the brain's day to day tasks. What a stupid medical system we have.
