You visit your Endocrinologist.
You are diagnosed with insulin dependant diabetes.
Diabetes, he/she informs you is due to a deficiency of insulin.
The treatment is designed to correct this imbalance.
You visit your Psychiatrist.
You are diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder.
Depression, he/she informs you is almost certainly due to a defficiency of serotonin.
The treatment is designed to correct this imbalance.
Treatment is commenced.
After about three weeks you revisit your Medical Professionals for a progress report.
Your Psychiatrist asks you "On a scale of zero to ten, ten being extremely depressed, zero being not at all depressed, how bad would you say your depression is today?"
You think for a bit. "Oh I would say about two!"
You Psychiatrist looks up and says authoritatively "You are responding to treatment"!
Your Endocrinologist asks you "On a scale of zero to ten, ten being extremely bad, zero being not at all bad, how bad would you say your diabetes is today?"
You think for a bit (amazed). "Oh I would say about two!"
Your Endocrinologist looks up and says authoritatively "You are responding to treatment!"
Question,
Which of these two professionals would you trust and why?
There are no right answers here only things to think about.
My friend Wilton will appreciate this.
