how do you tell your psychiatrist that you've been lying to them about not being depressed for multiple years asking for a friend

i stg i don't understand why people go to therapists/psychiatrists and lie to them, unless you're being forced to go

It's not really lying if the reason you're seeing them isn't depression lol

No the reason you’re not getting better is because you’re telling them you’re fine when you’re not

They know. And they have been analyzing why you don’t want to talk about it

I go to my psych for adhd meds, she’s not my therapist. We talk for roughly 15 minutes each month just to check in on how the meds are working. I previously thought that I didn’t need depression meds but now I’m reconsidering

then honestly you should just say that exactly. "I previously thought I didn't need depression meds but I'm reconsidering. Would you be able to help me with that?"

I promise you they don’t, they take you at your word and move on. Because they’re at work getting through the day just like everybody else
