Do any of you find that anxiety disorders drive medical docs crazy, to the point where they want to get rid of overly anxious as patients?? Do any of you ask too many questions about medical conditions (or kids' medical conditions) , or show extreme nervousness, causing total annoyance of health care providers? Do docs tend to over-diagnose, or get rid of, nervous patients?
Some doctors i seen when i had anxiety they just used to look at you asif to say "why are you being so stupid" however I question everything at the doctors as the reassurance was key for me i needed to know 100% that i am fine and when the answer was see how you are in a few days and if no better come back it makes you worry a whole lot more.A doctor will never over diagnose or get rid of a patient just because they are nervous/anxious there has been times where ive cried my eyes out to the doctor and she sat and listened but as far as my health went it was anxiety that was making me unwell all the time.
Thank you. I just find that my need for assurance is what drives them nuts because it causes me to ask the same questions over and over again.
Dont worry im the exact same ill ask "so theres nothing to worry about" atleast 5 times and ill get them to re explain everything but i just like knowing 100% what is going on haha but dont ever feel silly my doctor said just some doctors especially at drop in clinics dont have the time for reassurance as they have so many patients to try and get through
