Many people with depression are reluctant to discuss their symptoms with their doctors.

A survey of more than 1,000 adults find the most common reason is due to the fear of being put on anti-depressant medications.

Many patients also say they believe it's not the doctor's job to handle emotional issues, were worried about medical records privacy and feared being referred to a counselor.

Researchers say those who were most hesitant to talk to their doctors about depression were the people with the most severe symptoms.

This study was led by researchers at the University of California Davis. It was published in 'Annals of Family Medicine.' Read more about the study here.
