Doctors aren't some magical people who know everything. They read the same books and studies available to you. They have their own biases, not much time for an individual patient. They often stopped educating themselves once reality of long work hours set in. Just talk to you doctor might the worst popular advice on the Internet. My experience is the opposite: until you take matters in your own hands, experiment with various treatments and preferably find an open minded doctor who is willing to help you along the way (not only with advice but mainly with providing access to medication) it will not work. It might work if your problem is simple and typical but it won't otherwise. The reason is obvious: you are likely as smart as your doctor. They might have more experience and general knowledge but they have an hour (if you're very lucky) for you and you have all the time in the world to catch up and figure it out. Yeah, talk to doctors if you're the kind of person who drifts to homeopathy or other shamanism but please don't solely rely on them when it comes to your health of you have a bit of a brain.
