Worried About His Practice
For Chris, who was a licensed surgeon, he believed that if anyone, especially his patients, found out that he was depressed, no one would trust him to take care of them or handle their medical needs. So rather than go to a professional who could handle his case, Chris decided to self medicate.
It Was A Mistake
Sadly for Chris, this was the worst thing that he could have done. Not only was he not a psychiatrist, but it was said that the medication he was using to ‘help’ him was actually doing the exact opposite. He would become highly addicted to the meds, making his depression so much worse.
