I recently had an employment physical and I lied about not having Bipolar. I didn't see the reason this doctor needed to know, not to mention I was afraid it would hurt my chances of getting this job. I told him I had MDD that was treatment resistant to anything but Seroquel. I was honest about the anxiety but it's not like anxiety is something that was going to cause me not to get this job. I would usually never lie to someone in the medical field, but this was a special case.
I am honest with my primary doc after all he's kind of my pdoc as well; I can't really hide much from him.
I don't know what I am going to tell my Cardiologist when I see him, I want him to help me and not write the issue of as something psychiatric; so I might need to use the same lie; granted with my anxiety he could easily call it anxiety and drop the case.
