They call it the mimicking disease as it's symptoms can so easily lead to misdiagnosis. As we all know when told by a doctor that we're just depressed!

I will never trust medics again, antidepressant pushers who dont follow their own NICE guidelines with big egos and yes sounds like I would have been better off seeing a vet! x
