Another problem is that some drugs are artificially illegal to prescribe like medical cannabis. Doctors run out of options and prescribe anti-depressants off label for chronic pain rather than safer cannabis. I know someone suffering from chronic pain who tried to commit suicide multiple times after being on anti-depressants. Fortunately medical cannabis has been legalised and that person now thrives. Caveat is that here it is only available on private prescription and costs a fortune. I wonder what happens if that person gets made redundant and won't be able to afford it anymore.
