Hey Dez
I'm a little late into the conversation
But that's a good list of questions to go in with! A few more you might like to consider:
1. What will this medication actually do for me? (Not necessarily a detailed explanation, but something like SSRIs help keep more of certain hormones in your brain).
2. What are the benefits? Also - check out this site:
http://www.thennt.com/ Not a huge database yet, but keep an eye on it.
3. What are the alternative options? (talk therapy of some sort, diet, exercise etc. Not saying you don't need drugs, but it's worth asking).
Other thoughts.
Try to take a list of your current medications, or bottles/packets etc with doses and amounts and all that. Sometimes memory goes weird in a stressful situation :P
Be honest, but check confidentiality. It doesn't hurt to ask under what circumstances they have to report things. It helps that you're over 18
If you have anxiety, you have anxiety
Thing is... diagnosis depends on two things (broadly). Symptoms, and effect on your life. If it's having an effect on your life, then maybe you want to tell people, so they understand. It is your decision. However, a letter from a medical person might be helpful if you have problems with assessment or study stuff, and the earlier you can get that the more helpful it might be.
Parents... I need to do some more thinking.
