That really sucks. It is a common experience to women seeking medical help. I've had experience of having my health concerns (not covid-related) dismissed as "anxiety."

The fact that this is common baffles me. My country isn't big on mental health so physiological symptoms are never linked to anxiety/depression, which I'm thankful for. How can doctors dismiss health problem as "AnXIetY" when they're not a psychologist in the first place?

Sexism.

Also women's pain doesn't matter.
