Anxiety , depression , and doctor visits Posted: 07-25-08 11:21am
When I go to the doctor, what can I be
checked for?.......I am actually anxious
to go, of fear that they will find
something like hiv, or who knows what.

Doctor’s duty is to check all the
possible reasons for your symptoms.
Anxiety and depression can cause symptoms
like yours (fatigue, pains, sleeping
difficulties…) but other options should
be excluded first. It is unlikely that
doctors will diagnose you with an
HIV-infection.
