Yes BUT: Be aware that he may have limited time for the main purpose. As a result he may ask you to make a separate appointment. But, since the symptoms appear to be inter -related it is an important piece of information that should be brought up.

Of course. bring up!: Your obgyn should be familiar with anxiety and depression, as many women suffer them. S/he may not want to be the primary doctor treating you for those conditions though -- and may want to refer you to a psychiatrist and/or psychologist or other therapist for this. Since you're new in town, it's a good chance to ask about potential good referrals anyway. Good luck!
