GPs are General Practitioners. They are called "general" because they look at the health of the whole person - physical, mental, emotional. If they can't help you with a problem they will refer you to someone who can.

GPs respect your privacy!  They will not discuss your problems with your parents or anyone else unless:

  • you ask them to
  • you are going to harm yourself in any way
  • you are going to harm others
  • others are going to harm you

Receptionists do not read the doctor's notes and will not know why you visited the doctor!
