Well I can see I didnt explain properly....The problem is doctors trying to reduce the strain on an overworked system by choosing to believe moderately ill patients are malingerers, hyperchondriacs, mild cases, weird people, people with problems, self harmers etc.
My mother who worked in the system said that in the NHS people who take drugs or drink dont get diagnosed or treated properly. Its an unwritten rule.
