For me it's depended on the pdoc I was seeing at the time. A couple of them I felt completely comfortable with so was not afraid to tell them any/all symptoms, but there were a couple of them that I only spoke up about a symptom when it got serious. I'll be starting with my new pdoc next month, and I've met him before so I already know I will be comfortable with him. The pdoc appointments are only 15 minutes though, so I do have to take a list and my mood chart along to make sure I don't forget anything.

As for therapy, I've just started with my new T, so I am still cautious as to what I discuss, but in the past I've had some wonderful therapists that I've been able to tell almost everything.

Ack, I've gone on and rambled again, sorry...I guess in the end it's best to be as honest as you can in order to get the correct treatment. Good luck today!!!

oh...wanted to add...my mom is the same way; although I get along better with her now than I used to, she still brings up everything I ever did wrong as a teenager and it bugs the living hello out of me. You're not alone with that one!
