Today is a big day for me! ??Many of you may not know that I have struggled with anxiety and depressive symptoms that started during my medical school and residency training days. The stress, long hours and sleep deprivation were definitely an occupational hazard! Thankfully, I’ve been on an incredible healing journey over the last 15+ years.
As a physician, I was trained to diagnose diseases. Granted, there is some sense of relief for the patient and satisfaction for the doctor to put a label on your condition, but it’s not as helpful as it may seem. In fact, labeling people with specific mental diseases has led to the problematic practice of lumping large groups of patients with similar symptoms into categories and simply prescribing a corresponding prescription drug to the name of the disorder.
Your body is talking to you. Pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, brain fog, headaches, insomnia, heartburn, indigestion, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and stubborn belly fat are not the enemies.
