Getting a new GP - to lie or not to lie?

Posted by Sonya on December 30, 2005, at 15:18:59

I've got an appointment with a potential new GP. His office sent me paperwork to complete on my history. Naturally, there's a section to check if there's a history of psychiatric assessment, anxiety, depression and psychiatric hospitalization. Yup - all of them could be checked, but should I? I'm also supposed to list meds and who prescribes them (pdoc - which will give away everything anyway). I just don't want my psych history to influence a new GP's assessment of any physical complaints. I'd be very interested in what others would do.
