I’ve neen convinced for years my pdoc/mental health team has been writing secret reports about me. I’m preoccupied with these thoughts most of the time. Is this a delusion?

Well they are certainly writing reports on you, or at least should be keeping notes because that’s their job 
But not what you’re thinking, that would be classified as a paranoid delusion.

Yes it’s a delusion @bobbilly.

One of my handiest tools for recognizing delusions is asking “does this belief revolve around me?”
If it revolves around you, i.e. there is some huge plot you’re in the center of, or about you having special abilities others don’t, or anything like that, it is a delusion

They say I’ve seen all the reports I have requested, they say they are open and transparent, they say I’m not that important but I don’t believe them.

A psychiatrist does have to pass on information about the medication you are taking and any signs of schizophrenic behavior or thoughts to other psychiatrists that may take on your case.

It’s all in your head. You are their patient and they are in charge of your mental health.

There’s a billion things in life that are just conjecture. You chose one to focus on.
Doctors have access to medical records (you’re “chart”). Shows your medical history.
Secret charts? Most likely not. Why would he? I would just bring it up with him.

I never saw my shrinks notes when I was in the military so I consider them all secret. I had three folders of medical records that didn’t say anything so I didn’t even keep a copy.
All of the psychiatric notes were only on the computer system. My records just said I went to an appointment. They were worthless.
But to answer your question I would say no. He is not keeping secret records. I wouldn’t dwell on it.

Yes, it sounds like a delusion. Does your pdoc/mental health team know that you struggle with this?

I don’t want to frighten you but technically at least where I live doctors can withhold info/notes/files if they feel it would be emotionally compromising to the patient.
But I must ask what worries you about them keeping files from you?
Yes they know. 12345
