GPs and mental health

Does anyone else find that having e.g. anxiety or depression seems to overshadow health needs in terms of treatment from doctors?

This worries me as in the past had something quite serious put down to my MH.

Possibly particularly in women, I find doctors and surgeons can put pain down to MH at times.

Recently I have had shingles, also have another painful condition and yes it is sarting to affect my mental health. I have depression also.

But I find myself not wanting to bring this up with the GPs in case they put my other symptoms down to it.

Does anyone else relate?
