We as Vets need to remember that when the Psychiatrist ask you "How are doing," the answer you give to that question is the first thing that the Psychiatrist writes in your Medical Notes. In some cases like mine, when I remained silent about my symptoms my Dr.'s documentation in my Medical Notes would show that my MH symptoms may have improved when the opposite is true. So, thru Berta I learned to open up your mouth and tell your Dr. how you are really doing. One other thing I have found help is to know what the symptoms of your illnesses are. I use my symptoms list as a list of things I need to address at my MH appointments.
