Serotonin syndrome
I depend on Antidepressants. 8 years ago i suffered from serotonin syndrome twice. After that if my doctor continue medication, then i suffer from physical pain(Symptoms like serotonin syndrome) and if not then i suffer mentally.
My life becomes hell now. No private Doctor has time to research on complicated case and bother with one patient when other patients with standard treatment procedures are standing in row. At Govt hospital they don't even bother to listen. I want to live because if i kill myself then no one to take care of my family.
Is there any Psychiatrist who wants to take my case?

Bec they have lot of time as they have very few patients and they will listen to you more then disposal of prescription.
