The doctor might put me on medicines that I'd rather not take.

I do not feel it is my doctor's job to deal with emotional problems.

My medical records might be seen by others such as an employer.

The doctor might send me to a counselor, psychologist, or social worker.

The doctor might send me to a psychiatrist.

I would not want to be considered a "psychiatric patient."

I would not want to tell private information to my doctor.

I might cry or become too emotional during the visit.

I would not know how to bring up the topic of depression to my doctor.

I would not want to distract the doctor from taking care of my physical health problems.

The doctor might think less of me if I brought up my depression symptoms.
