Depends: Most psychiatrists are sensitive to this issue and will maintain confidentiality. There are some legal restraints in patients under 16 years in many states, but otherwise they will keep it in the office. Discuss first to be confident about the position of your psychiatrist.

Privacy: As an adult, you may keep your treatment completely private. The psychiatrist only reveals information to whomever you give specific permission. The individuals on your insurance plan might have access to information you have had appointments with specific doctors. People you live with might see bills from a physician's office or insurance envelopes. These means can be addressed to ensure privacy.
