#gynaecomastia

Telephone counselling session done. I'm not sure how helpful it was. For a first session there was naturally a lot of admin, but I felt that the medical basis of my issues couldn't be considered (because they're not medically trained) and that there was a lot of focus on something that I mentioned but consider to be secondary. This meant that the primary body-image thing seemed to get pushed aside until the end. There's a recommendation for future on-going telephone counselling with a trained / specialist counsellor as the summary was that I may have a form of depression. This feels like they wanted to shove me into a diagnostic box rather than treating me as an individual. I'm not sure that this has helped in the slightest. #mentalhealth #depression #gynaecomastia
