So… you don’t have a specific example of how it helps? Yes, you should be honest with children about their medical condition. Similarly dementia patients. Why wouldn’t you? Asking about “trusted with” is a non sequitur because we’re not talking about whether people should be dependents that require care — but whether doctors have a right to conceal information. Again, why would you write “suck at socializing”? — but are you envisioning some situation where someone seeing a therapist for social anxiety would be harmed by “struggles with social skills” or “doesn’t have fully developed social skills” would be news to the patient? …c’mon. The patient already knows that; they’re there to get advice on how to address that. And a therapist telling such a transparent lie to someone with social anxiety seems likely to do more harm than good. Again, go ahead and be explicit about how you think medical professionals concealing notes will help — I think it’s very strange you’re so adamant but can’t be explicit. That’s typically a sign of being delusional.
