Ever get the impression that once you mention your mental health problems to a doctor, even though you are seeing them for something completely unrelated, they tend to think it must be because you have panic and anxiety? This just happened to me. I'm fairly certain I have a sinus infection and while being seen my mental health issues came up. She immediately assumed my headache was "stress" and kind of blew me off. No wonder most of us hate going to the doctor. Sorry for the rant, it's just frustrating.

I am lucky that my internist for the past 8 years is
