How To Question Your Doctors Diagnosis

Effective Communication with Your Doctor

It’s no secret that people get information from the Internet. So you don’t need to tiptoe around this issue. But of course, you don’t want to say I think you got the diagnosis wrong. No one wants to start a conversation feeling criticized.

The issue with your doctor or therapist is not that you read about a diagnosis, the issue is how you convey the information to your doctor. In this video I discuss how you can do this.

Here is the medication history template that I discuss in the video

Current Symptoms started 3 months ago

Current Symptoms
List the things you feel are not right about you
Or List symptoms that correlate to something you read about
Time Factors
List how long the above symptoms last, you don’t have to be exact, it can be minutes vs hours vs days vs months
Past Symptoms
Any of your current symptoms happen before, if so when
Example I felt most of this stuff 3 years ago and it went away after a few months.
I’ve felt this way most of my life off and on since I was a teenager
Medication History

Past psychiatric medications and bad reactions (include when you took the medicine. Last year vs 10 years ago?)
