This column usually presents tips for reducing the stress in our lives
but sometimes, despite our best efforts, we may have a mental health issue that
requires extra professional help. For many, however, the thought of discussing
a mental health problem with a doctor can be almost as scary as the problem
itself. It is important to recognize that mental illness is a legitimate medical
concern and your doctor is trained to diagnose and treat it just as she might a
disease like diabetes.
You can start the conversation with your primary care doctor or any
healthcare practitioner you feel the most comfortable with. It may help you to
write down your thoughts before the visit and think about what your goals of
the conversation are, noting that it might take several visits to have a diagnosis
and treatment plan. Depending on your symptoms, you might start by saying,
"I think I'm depressed" or "I'm always feeling worried and my sleep has been
bad for weeks". Your doctor will know the questions to ask to delve further
into your symptoms and point you in the direction to get the help you need. Be
patient with yourself and know that help is out there.
