Confident
I was diagnosed with Ptsd last week and I was wondering whether I need to tell my GP/doctor or if the people I spoke to will do it?? Xxx

It depends on whether the people you spoke to were friends/family/enemies/acquaintances/colleagues/insurance, or medical professionals.I was diagnosed with Ptsd last week and I was wondering whether I need to tell my GP/doctor or if the people I spoke to will do it?? Xxx
Depends on the country and system . In U.K. through the NHS all NHS med pros communicate to the General Practice/ practitioner via a letter which of course the patient also receives a copy of. My referral to psychiatric services is fuzzy in my mind but I believe I saw a psychiatric nurse who confirmed a GP given diagnosis ( I noted this week looking through neurological letters they also indicated PTSD ) and I don’t recall a letter about it but somehow it’s on my notes now.if you think your other med pros need to know, you need to do the informing. i would be downright shocked to hear of medical/psych pros communicating independently.
MedPros? (In most western countries, but not all.) Won’t. That’s their license, several hundred thousand in education, millions in future earnings/their family’s security, their own life / livelihood, and their avocation. All lost, the moment they breech patient confidentiality. As it would cost them their license to practice medicine without your explicit consent.
