Easy, buddy -- I know how I'd feel if something like this was directed at me, and only hope that Ed and Denise are more resilient than I am.
Just keep in mind that the UK has the National Health Service to deal with, so choosing a doctor isn't as easy as it is in the US. Your advice is very good, about getting evaluated by a doctor who specializes in the issues you're looking for treatment for, but it's not always feasible for everyone. In the UK, getting treatment *at all* can be a struggle, and even over here it can be impossible to find competent treatment if you don't have insurance or adequate financial resources. (Trust me -- I just got medical insurance after ten years of being uninsured -- and even with insurance, it's still a real stretch financially to get adequate treatment for my issues.)
I'm not at all disagreeing with your basic point -- only reminding you that sometimes things aren't as easy as they might seem on the surface.
And about the magnesium: the article in question had nothing to do with psychiatric effects. It was all about muscle metabolism -- at least, that's all that I understood, chemist can tell you more. The psychiatric effects were just a fringe benefit that I noticed.
