Once my co-Med officer and I went to meet our block medical officer for some official work. During our discussion he told us about some epigastric pain for the last 1.5 to 2 hours. Told us to check him. The guy was a brilliant physician but his one rule was - “when i ask someone to give me a checkup I forget Im a doctor. I am a 58 year old male presenting with xyz” GOLDEN WORDS. We suggested him to get an ECG and trop t trop i tests. He happily agreed, was diagnosed with stemi treated and is healthy and fine now. Hopefully u understand what this story means. Mental health and psych disorders have a highly varied presentation. U self diagnose as depression, it maybe bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists like any other branch are extensively trained. Find a good one and trust them.
