My last physical was performed by the company doc, and she was an MD. The form also says to list ALL medications prescribed or over the counter. If you take a medication and don't list it that's falsification. If you have an accident and the find out you were on a medication not listed on your physical it's suddenly your fault because you were not driving legally. Seen it happen. Don't lie on the physical.

The real problem with any diagnosis for so called mental disorders, is that they are driven by pharmaceutical companies. Every time a new drug is released, the target diagnosis goes up. The statistics prove it. Notice how things seem to run in waves. Depression, Anxiety disorders, OCD, Bi polar, now it’s #1 and #2. Not to worry, we have a brand new drug for that. It’s always been that way. 50 yrs ago, the US had twice the % of Schizophrenia diagnoses that England. Coincidentally England had twice the % of Bi Polar diagnoses. Someone was being Mis diagnosed. More than likely many Bi Polar patients were Institutionalized in the US, being treated for Schizophrenia. They didn’t have a chance. Nowadays General Practitioners are prescribing psycho active drugs to people that don’t really need them. It started with drugs like Ativan for anxiety in the 80’s, then Prozac in the 90’s, that’s evolved into tailor made Bi Polar medication. It’s good for Authentic Patients. Too bad the drugs are being pushed by the Medical System. It usually starts with “Free” samples. Big Red Flag!!
