Re: Talking to your GP
Personally I think I find it easier than when I was younger because I'm slightly more confident with people in authority but I have never actually approached a GP about my mental health problems. I only was able to talk about my depression in the last couple of years because he asked me if I was depressed when I went about a physical problem and this opened the door to talking about other things which I would have found difficult to talk about without the prompt.

Re: Talking to your GP
I've never mentioned SA to my GP, too ashamed to. I know that I should'nt be. I could not do it when I was younger because of shame, and find it even harder to do now.
I did see him about depression a few years ago and that was extremely difficult because of, guess what, the shame. But I was ready to buy a one way ticket to beachy head at that time so I got to the point where I had no choice. |

I've got a telepathic doc. Never tell him anything, get the feeling he knows me better than most people. He's always a good laugh, always makes time for me, and is about the only doctor I would really trust.
So I avoid him like the plague |

Re: Talking to your GP
I've come across a couple of older GPs who were incredibly uncomfortable talking about depression etc; i suppose they grew up in a time where you just didn't talk about things like that.

Re: Talking to your GP
I'm about to change GP's. My present one treats me like a fool so I feel like a fool and leave. He's no bedside manner nor shows any interest in what I might have to say - give me a woman doctor anyday.
