Yeah my PCP diagnosed me years ago with depression. It follows me on my medical record like a curse. Good luck getting doctors to take you seriously if you have a psych diagnosis/taking psych meds. I work in the medical field and this is all too common.

I don't know how it ended up with my PCP putting this on my record. I think it was the first time I had a PCP in many years and I stopped sleeping and eating and whatever, depression taking its physical toll, or I was manic or semi-manic depending on which psych doctor you ask at which time I've sought treatment in my life. Years later, when I'm consulting with a doctor, they will ask "why aren't you taking any psych meds" if I happen to not be on them. Here, take some amitriptyline, nothing is wrong with you.

There are pros and cons. That is just one con.
