Summary

Stream 62584 had been off work since June 2022 on and off. An SSRI prescription did not help and doctors called it anxiety. By April 2023 they still felt terminally ill some days, had spent money on many doctors and specialists, and were told at an ER visit not to return because the problem was chronic and not an emergency.
