Last year I had to go to an urgent care center for a broken toe. No sooner had the doctor come in than the questions began about my psych meds---not my blood pressure and diabetes pills, JUST the psych meds. I don't know what on earth all this had to do with my toe, which he didn't even look at until we'd played 20 questions about my meds, but it made me feel stigmatized...as if I were somehow less of a person, or not to be trusted, simply because I am bipolar and take meds for it.
