Thanks, I agree. You know whenever you go see a doc, even for routine mamos, they ask if you're depressed. But, their asking always gives me pause, and makes me self-check and analyze my situation, which is exactly what you're saying!

They ask if you are depressed so if your answer is yes, they then have the opportunity to offer/sell you a Rx. Do you think they really have time to care/be caring? Be aware also if you answer yes, it will be noted in your chart and will be permanently in your medical records. Who knows how they might use it in the future. Just saying.
Among other things your life insurance premiums will likely go up if it is noted on your charts as well as certain states may use it when determining if they can restrict certain rights.
Also, at least when scheduling your appointment, you say anything other than "preventive care" then it gets put into a different category and may not be fully covered by your health insurance.
One side of medicine's mouth claims to want to remove the stigma of mental or emotional problems while the other side uses it as a cudgel. Trust is gone.

Provoking thought as a tool, a good thing indeed.
