I had an extraordinarily bad experience with a pdoc last year. I showed up telling her I wanted to improve my life and solve my problems, she decided that I was a danger to myself and ordered me to the psych ward. Since then, I have had the humiliation of telling other doctors about it. But, I made a decision it was on a need to know basis. I didn't tell the cardiologist, chiropractor, cardiologist, and I am completely comfortable with that. One key is to find really great doctors. I found a new psychiatrist who is the opposite, warm, caring, friendly, helpful, and very normal. Makes a world of difference.
