Yes he has to keep your secret, there is a law called HIPAA and no one can know what you say to your doctor except you. He cannot tell your parents unless you are under 18 years old.
Honey, if they don’t tell your parents, you can’t fully get over it!!!!
yes
Are you under 18? Then no. A doctor cannot keep it a secret. Besides, if you are on their health insurance plan, they are going to wonder why this stuff is showing up on their insurance statements. I’m really sorry bc I know it’s embarrassing and/or scary to tell your parents something like this, but there’s not much else of a choice. You could find out if there are Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your area and attend those without your parent’s knowing (plus its usually free or they charge a small fee to help pay for snacks/coffee/etc). Best of luck to you. :)
yep. by law, they have to.
