Even my pdoc in the past said not to reveal straight away. I tend to reveal before meeting. Usually just drop it in a convo somewhere. And if he backs off then I know his views of mental health. If he stays then I know it will be worth meeting. But that’s just what I feel works for me.
It also alleviates the pressure to act “normal” whatever that means.
When are u scheduled to meet ur gp aka pdoc …i will meet my pdoc this month…
GP and PDOC isn’t same so no aka.
Ish we dont have gp here in nepal…we have pdoc and phySician. .pdoc sees mental illness where as physician see almost all the illness…if they find a person has mental illness…he she refer it to pdoc …so we have direct link.
I usually tell people if/when it becomes relevant, but rather sooner than later
Well psychiatrist is mental illness and gp is physician
