disclosing to health care providers

[yarnandcats]

so this is for anyone with any sort of dissociative whatever...and for whomever would like to answer in the broader sense (for any mental health issue), as well:

when do you disclose (if ever) your dissociative issues/diagnosis to your physical health care providers? and how?

i have need to do so because of relevance to current physical health diagnosis and also because of new med (for physical issue) that has psych side effects. just wondering what other folk's experience and/or advice would be.
