i agree with kindachaotic.

having dealt with the medical profession/world since i was 14, and i'm now 24, i can straight out tell you that some doctors/nurses/healthcare professionals are oblivious to what a patient really needs, how they're really feeling, ect. and you basically have to paint them a picture and spell out ALL the details to them for them to realize there's a problem.

...but on the other hand you can't assume they can read your mind. (that would be sort of awesome..and creepy..if they could) they look at a list of symptoms and come to a conclusion/diagnosis based on what they can see. that's their job. emotional problems can be easily masked from everyone around you every day, including doctors. you have to look them in the eye and say "i'm not sleeping, i'm having thoughts that i know aren't healthy/right, i am depressed all the time, ect...whatever your symptoms are" that way they know. if you have gone to the same doctor seven times and been vocal and open about everything with him/her, then it's time to consult another doctor who will listen to you.

i wish you all the best ♥
