no depression or anxiety? in this day and age? how
I like your doctor.
rude.
I don't think a doctor would respond like that would they?. Anxiety and sadness are a normal human emotions. They only become Depression and anxiety disorder when they meet specific thresholds. Everyone waters down the meaning of both terms so much that its hard to tell the severity of the issue when someone says i have anxiety.
This isn't a structural support meme; don't lean so hard into it.
Remember that you can't unsay anything to a Dr. and good luck getting something like that removed from your medical record. It doesn't matter til it does. Told a doc I was concerned about my drinking 13 years ago and got some labwork done to make sure my liver was still good. I don't even drink anymore but I found out a few weeks ago I'd need a waiver to enlist.
