I sympathize with you pliepla. Giving up a sport that you have a deep connection to isn't going to be easy. I get that. Hopefully, you can find some low impact aerobic activity that will replace your mountain biking since being active is something important to you.

That really stinks about your country's healthcare system's policies. I mean, it sounds like, patients aren't given any control over their own healthcare there. That's scary. Well, can you at least petition to have your cardiologist and neurologist say "no!" to the GP and Psychiatrist about not prescribing you an antidepressant? Isn't there an appeals process you can go through?

It's not that we don't have any freedom of choice. It's rather that, especially when it comes to psychiatric care, the need for care exceeds the number of care-givers. The consequence is that, once you find a therapist, you stick to him and that psichiatrists are bound to give you medication, no matter what because they can only see you once in six weeks.
At least, in this system, I can still pay the bills. I think in other countries, I would have been screwed years ago ...

All the best, exercise the heart with activity as much as you can. If possible.
