[quote=Anonymous]Just a mention that if your young adult needs to see a doctor in an emergency, they should be careful about what to share about their psychiatric history. I’ve had so many doctors immediately say I don’t feel well due to my history of anxiety or depression, and wave me off, when I knew it was more than that. As a mature adult, I now am more selective about what I disclose. I was once told by a neurologist that my OCD was causing my migraines, which as ridiculous. My adult daughter has anxiety and OCD, and she knows not to allow a doctor to default to that. My aunt recently went to the ER for a heart attack and was sent home as soon as the doctor heard she had a history of panic attacks. A day or so later, another ER sent her right to the operating room. Just wanted to say this in case it might apply.[/quote]
