Depressed and need advice

Rating:
(votes: 8)


Not medical advice. I am feeling depressed and anxious and wanted to ask my pcp for a referal to psych. However, I'm not sure if I'm uncomfortable asking him since he brings his kids to my current job , a peds office. My job has a lot to do with my issues so in just wondering how some of you might feel disclosing this information. I was even thinking of switching providers so it wouldn't be weird... Idk am I just over reacting??
Well, there are two sides to this. When he is your doctor, he is a professional. When he brings his kids to your office, he is a parent. I have so many doctors and am just waiting for the day when I have to take care of one of their kids. You will not be the first patient to ask him for a psych referral and he doesn't need to know the details- you can save that for the psych. If you really feel that you are uncomfortable with him as your doctor, by all means change providers.
