how do you tell a doctor about your illness

Posted by rjlockhart04-08 on January 17, 2012, at 15:53:56

I've thought about this. See before I saw my doctor I told her I had much sadess and I had crying spells and I had "thoughts" of suicide. Not suicidal thoughts, but just the "thought" of it. I can't do it. I want to preseve my life and not end everything. ButI still do think about it. But FINALLY she did something. Usally she would not change my meds and left me misderable.

There's got to be way to tell your doctor correctly about whats going on for them to take it seriously and not brush it off. One thing I have learned is NEVER tell a doctor what medication you would like to be on. You have to describe through eleboration of what your suffering from and that it preventing you from functioning. Sometimes even if you tell them that, they just say "deal with it" go to a therpist. It depends on the doctor.

But in my case before I go into the session I put together what Im going to talk about and go over and try to rerember it like a speech. You have to bring eleboration and how it effeccts your daily life. I do know somethings. But I would love to hear wisdom from someone else. The amount suffering I am going through is high, but I choose to live and find a solution for all this. What are some strong points that should tell a doctor or in this case my doctor. Someone please help me put together what I should say and how I should say it. That's what it depends on is saying it in influenceing correct manner
