心理健康耻辱和医学专家:我的故事

我的名字:冬青安里维拉 年龄:27 诊断:重度抑郁症,焦虑症。 其他心理健康问题:进食障碍,自我伤害,创伤 因为症状:1997年

除了精神疾病,我也每天处理背部问题。就像精神疾病,有时re-stabilize危机干预是必要的。最近,我去了医院急诊室突破从背部痉挛疼痛。这不是一个有趣的经验,甚至少乐趣当焦点落在我所有的精神健康问题,而不是我目前在疼痛。

大量的人试图签我,心电图,和问太多的问题让我处理,我听到最可怕的问题,“你现在在用什么药?”Although I know this is needed to consider medication interaction and to see if my pain could be caused by any other ailment I have, I loathe this question. Instead of asking "what are you on XYZ for?" doctors and nurses like to pretend they know everything and insist on guessing. "Oh, so you have heart problems, anxiety, and are bipolar?" Nothing makes me angrier. I have yet to have anyone guess my diagnosis correctly. When I corrected the nurse, she seemed annoyed. I couldn't understand why a medical professional would be annoyed that I am knowledgeable of my own diagnosis. I continued to explain my mental health issues as well as my back problems and pointed out that the history of ER visits should be in the system, as I continuously use the same hospital. Much to the nurse's chagrin, the doctor confirmed what I was saying and continued on to treat the real problem.

被判断为有精神疾病是错误的

作为一个客户,我有权不应该根据每一个专业谁认为他们知道每一个药物。假设和判断基于医学历史让我感到挫败感和异常。我知道病人和医务人员之间的相互作用是至关重要的,正确的诊断和治疗,但有时很难披露重要信息,由于害怕被判断。值得庆幸的是,这次的医生对我愿意倾听和信任我。它帮助我记住,并不是所有的在心理健康领域工作的人都是无知的。
