Not every psych patient discloses all relevant personal information for one reason or another (denial, intentional non-disclosure, incompetence, fear, embarrassment, delusion, addiction, etc.). The psych docs are very aware of this fact.

However, it's in your best interest to find a psychiatrist you TRUST and whom you can discuss your past issues and medical history without fear he/she will be biased and provide you inappropriate healthcare treatment.
