I am begging y’all to please get new doctors. If your doctor is seeing this information they SHOULD be talking to you about it and making a separate follow up appointment to discuss depression. If my doctor hadn’t done this, I never would have gotten medicated or received treatment I needed. Like…..talk to your doctors they want to help you and if they are ignoring your pain you should get a new doctor. Would you continue to see a doctor who, after you’d filled out a survey that said you were having physical pain every day or you broke your leg, and the doctor ignored you? No. Please advocate for yourself. I know it’s not that simple for everyone, but at least try.
I am handed a piece of paper. I check off a box that says “every day I wish I were dead.” I hand back the paper. The paper and its contents are never again discussed.
