Hopefully, you will be able to describe both your symptoms, and your fears re: being given a psychiatric diagnosis. Talking with the pdoc should help ease some of those fears; truly the world will not crumble by naming what is happening. And the pdoc can tell you what will or will not be shared with anyone else. Medications may also help along with non-medical techniques. The more you learn, the better for you. There will be scary times, and there will be times of great relief. You are not alone. Let us know how it goes.
