May 12, 2025
|Time
When you go to the doctor, you’re probably the one answering most of the questions. Yet it’s essential to make sure you're asking plenty of your own. “We need to get someone to fund a bazillion-dollar PSA to tell people to be bolder when they talk to their doctors,” says Risa Arin, founder and CEO of XpertPatient, a patient-education platform. “I see this over and over again: people aren’t asking any questions, never mind the right ones.” We asked experts to share the questions you should ask your doctor to help you get well or stay that way.
1. What screenings should I get?

Screening yearly for mental-health disorders like depression is important too—so if your doctor doesn't bring it up, initiate the conversation, she says.

The Risk Report
ARGENTINA'S PRESIDENT JAVIER Milei, a man who's enjoyed extraordinary success with a “move-fast-and-break-things” approach to politics and economic policy, is starting to look a lot more vulnerable. And at an inconvenient moment, with the approach of the country's Oct. 26 midterm elections, which could mark the beginning of the end for Milei and his reform efforts.
