I wasn't asked any history of psych. issues but this was a new hospital, since I moved from Colorado to Texas, and they had no previous records of visits. I try to be very careful because too often when people find out about MPD they automatically view it as the television shows have portrayed it, and I'm far more balanced than that! I hate it when I have to work hard to represent myself to others because of their prior viewings of anything mental illness. Makes it that much harder to be who I am and not HIDE my MPD like I did for so long. They actually asked me if I had current feelings toward wanting to hurt myself, and I could honestly say no.

Maybe later you can post about your ER experience. I am curious to know if they asked psych questions. I don't think I've ever been in the ER where that hasn't come up (i.e., my history).
