¡Yes!
Many of the symptoms for BD are characteristic of other behaviors &/or other disorders.
Once in the doctor’s office even if the visit is productive and helpful once the two of you start talking it’s easy to overlook things that might not end up being related to your (possible) condition but you still want to know about anyway.
Another reason it’s easy to overlook your questions is not intentional, but the doctor needs to know things as well to get an idea of your background, family history, etc. in addition to things that have not occurred to you.
Yes, no matter what your problem is you should always go to the doctor prepared with a list of question you want to ask and any symptoms you’re experiencing. Too many times we get in the car to come home and remember a question we wanted to ask or think of a symptom we had forgotten about.
If you have it all down on a notepad and have a pen with you, you can also make notes of anything you’re told that you want to remember for later.
Yes.
You should make a list.
According to studies, we can only remember around seven numbers, or facts at a time (since you are talking about symptoms you plan to talk about and bring up, it is probably in your short term memory to remember all of them) So, in order not to forget anything important, you should make a list.
We all have those moments when we get to the car and than are like “Damn! I forgot to bring that up to the doctor”
Making a list will hopefully free you from those moments.
Yes, it would be very wise to do that.
When I go I usually take a notepad and pen to jot down the important things my doctor tells me, most people forget something when they walk out the doctor’s surgery room, which could actually be quite useful information for them.
its always a good idea to write a list of what you want to tell the doctor to take to an appointment so a list would help
I always find that i forget things i wanted to ask when i am actually in with the doctor and then i remember them on the way home!
Yes, that way you don’t forget anything. When the dr starts asking questions, you sometimes get distracted and forget something you want to tell him. If you have a list you won’t forget. Good Luck, hope everything works out.
write everything down huni. sit by yourself, safe and comfortable, and write away!!! if your doctor doesnt like this approach, (which he/she has no reason to) then change docs or go to a drop-in centre. you will be helped, i assure you. xxxx
Yes even though they might not have the time to go through it all with you.
I’d recommend making a copy of the list to leave with the dr so it can be added to your chart and they can review it when they have a moment.
write down how you feel, and the symptoms you have. it will make it easier to remember and what to say when you go. the doctor would probably prefer it if you did, so they can help you better
yeah i think you should because you might forget something important
Yes, I did that.
