Tell them you want to know because you're the patient.
Your shrink actually asked why you wanted the test, we already know you're depressed?
Some of these guys come up with some real zingers.
Tell him you want a sleep test next! Why do you want a sleep test, we know you're depressed.
If you could find some physical or physiological reason, you wouldn't have to see your doctor anymore.
I had my testosterone checked because if it's low, you get the exact symtoms of depression. Mine was a little above normal. Fine, I'll go to an endocrinologist next for my thyroid tests.
Psychiatrist's need people skills. Some give you the right meds but say things that make no sense.
