How much should you tell a doctor about your mental health issues?? I'm going to see a new doctor on monday who is an urologist. My T asked me last night if he needed to speak to the doctor for me and let him know a little about my mental health concerns. ( dx'ed with DID& PTSD ) I'm not real sure if I want this doctor to know to much before I even meet him. I don't want him going into my appointment already thinking that I'm mentally unstable. But if he needs to do something that might be very triggering for me he needs to know ahead of time. So what do you do?? My T said that I could call him anytime during the appointment or after if I thought he should talk to the doctor for me. I've had a very hard time these last few months in T to the point of my T almost had me committed for my safety. But we made it through. But I'm still on "High Alert" and very easily triggered. Another issue I have is that with the job I do I work with a lot of people in the health care field. And some of the people I work with are friends with the doctor I'm going to see. I know they are not suppose to talk about their patients. But it's still in my head that it might happen in a round about way. Which adds extra fear of people finding out about my DID. Think I'm going loopy.
