Summary
Posting in r/chronicfatigue, the user described constant fatigue that doctors kept treating as depression; a psychiatric drug left them with cold sweats, nausea and vomiting that one doctor called serotonin syndrome. Counseling went badly when the therapist insisted the fatigue came from daddy issues. Labs and tests were clear, and they were left with a heavy head, dizziness and chest tightness on going out, with no other psychiatrists or psychologists in their area.
