Why is it okay for doctors to refuse to treat my anxiety? I "graduated" dbt classes and it didn't help my suicidal thoughts at all, I'm really losing hope.

They only want to give me antidepressants, I've in therapy for years. I got gene testing and my brain literally doesn't process antidepressants how it should. So I have proof that antidepressants wont work for me.

I've been told I'm not really depressed if I wont take the antidepressants in the past before I had these tests done which seems cruel. I've taken almost every kind of antidepressant that exists already, and they all fucked me up so badly.

They don't want to give me anxiety medication even though it works quite well at keeping me from self harming during my frequent break downs.

Someone on this subreddit literally just told me to fuck a doctor to get the treatment I need. That's insane.

I know so many younger people than me who don't have such debilitating anxiety, and their doctors are happy to prescribe them even a slightly excessive amount of pills.

I genuinely think I'm going to end up killing myself in the next few years, I can't handle having panic attacks every day. I can't function.
