By telling him / her what you need😮.
If you feel shy or nervous just write it on a paper or just tell him by texting your problem.
He is there to treat you only.
Trust me. He wont judge your problems.

Be honest with yourself. Truly authentic. Noone here is judging you half as much as you judge yourself. Be honest and direct.

Talk to your doctor and explain to them your situation. Doctors are here to help so it can’t be too hard to get what you need as long as it’s for your own good :)

Be honest with your doctor when they ask you questions. Tell them how you are truly feeling so that they can help you to the best of their ability.

In order for your doctor to give you prescription medication, you usually need to be diagnosed first. So the doctor has to give you a referral if it's needed, that referral will then bring you to a mental health clinic to be diagnosed, they can then prescribe you medication. Then in order to renew the prescription each month you just go back to your doctor and get the repeat prescription.

The best way to get what you need from your doctor is to be as honest with them as possible. They are there to help and provide you with professional assistance. Doctors are bound to confidentiality and therefore can not share what you tell them with anyone else (unless you express you are going to harm yourself or someone else in the immediate future). Being honest with your doctor is the absolute best way to get what you need out of treatment.

That depends largely upon what you think you need. Studies show that, on average, you have about eight seconds to tell your doctor what you're experiencing before they start in on you. On good way to make sure you say everything you need to say and stay on target is to make a list of things you want to cover before you go in, then immediately let your doctor know you have a list and you want to make sure you get through everything. This holds them to a predetermined course of action that you control.

The way to get what you need from your doctor if first to extablish what it is that you need. We also need to take into accound that what we need is not always what will be given. I would be prepared for the visit, before going maybe write down what you want him/her to know and what your expectatins are. Keep in mind, what the doctor feels you need and what you feel you need may be fully the same. Having a doctor who will communcate well with you is key, ask for as much information as you can and make sure you understand it.

Being Honest. There is not penalty for being honest. If you do not tell the truth, you cannot be helped to the fullest extent. Your doctor knows only as much as your share when it comes to how you are feeling. They do not have the ability to look into your soul and pull out what you're feeling. You must tell them. It was difficult for me to be honest with my doctor because I was scared but I will say that I would not be where I am today had I not been honest. Take heart. Have courage. Step out.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
