I only see my pdoc for 15 minute med checks so we don't have time to get into in depth conversations. Last time I saw him I debated about telling him I'd had thoughts about suicide and self-harm. I decided to tell him because how can he best help me if I don't tell him the truth? It turned out well. We talked about what might be causing the thoughts and what to do about it. He never mentioned the hospital. He did ask to see me again in six weeks instead of three months to see if things improved (they did). He also said if things were no better in six weeks we would discuss changing my meds. I'm glad I was honest with him.
Frankly, I don't see the point in not being honest with him. How can he help me if I don't tell him what's going on?
