SeekingZen, my personally philosophy is to disclose ALL of my medical conditions on a questionairre at the doctor's office. I've gone to the doc to get help with a problem. They need to see the whole picture of me in order to treat whatever is going on.

That said, I will admit that there are some docs who see "depression" or "fibro" on my history and seem to stop reading at that point. They will try to blame whatever is going on on one or the other. I then have to advocate for myself and say "NO, that's NOT causing the current problem." I've had to go toe-to-toe with a couple of docs who wanted to blame health problems on depression.
