Is paruresis "shy bladder" a real diagnosable medical or psychiatric panic dysorder? My nurse practioner says its not even medical. I need a standing order so i can give a blood specimen for my Probation Officer instead of urine. He has already diagnosed it but is now taking it  back. So Tricore labs wont continue doing the labs.  Do I need a primary care physician or a psychiatrist? It's causing me a lot of stress. I have anxiety and panic dysorder and PTSD. I think I am protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Panic disorder is a psychiatric illness and all psychiatric illnesses are medical illnesses. Gone are the days when the psychiatric illnesses were considered as non-medical illnesses.You will need  a psychiatrists and urine sample will not be required for panic disorder but will be required for urinary tract infections.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
