I went for a strange condition that many doctors had never heard of, and they usually just shrugged their shoulders. Dr Papp used his computer to come up with the most likely issue, and spent his personal time trying to find an old colleague who could better help me. He didn't solve the issue, but he tried, and he gave me further leads. He is very thorough.

Will answer calls same day. Gentle and will listen calmly. Offer a genetic testing and found out cause of depression was due to Fentanyl Patches. Immediately within the first couple of days, I was back slowly. 50% in 2 weeks. 80% a month later. 3 months and I am back 100% myself. I was so depressed all day, would not leave the house, was scared of being alone, could not watch TV as drama subject were sad, very scared watching TV bloody or suspense genre going to depression and fright. Wanted so much to end that was almost suicidal. No happiness, no joy, no interest in anything.
