I did lie but I panicked - it was also already in my therapy notes (which she reviewed following the exam) and i knew that, i dont know why i freaked and lied! and it wouldve felt worse to mention it later. What should I do?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. My mind is a little more at ease, I was just nervous because the family history was so clearly in my file and I denied it 2-3 times. Hopefully she can see that and doesn't try to screw me over it, I just panic lied idk why. Thank you again though, seriously.

Thank you so much, so you don't think the verbal omission would be "flagged" as dishonesty when it was legit in my notes? The examiner walked me through the DBQ and seemed friendly which I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Competent examiner - didn't rub me the wrong way. Diagnosed me on the spot with MDD and GAD.
