I've had all 3 issues since I was a teenager. From my perspective, doctors in the USA don't give a shit about any of them.

Back pain? You need to exercise more and lose weight. Great advice, of course, but ignoring the fact that it was an issue even when i was at my skinniest and most active.

Constant anxiety? You need to do breathing exercises. Oh, that didn't work for you? That's not possible, you're doing them wrong.

Sleep problems? You need to exercise and lose weight. Great advice, of course, but it ignores the fact that my sleep issues were a problem even when I was at my skinniest and most active.
