Zoe felt grateful to her providers for their care, information and support.
Written testimony
So care, information and support. Those are I think priority. Starting from care we need, I was very lucky to fall on compassionate doctors, medical professionals who helped me, who listened to me, who understood me, who didn’t pathologize, over diagnose me, and over medicate me. Who got the full story assessed, were there to support and most importantly to give me accurate, reliable, recent research information. That was a godsend. That was just, I owe them a lot.
