Have Anxiety, Panic Disorder, PTSD. Is Paruresis Shy Bladder A Real Diagnosable Medical Or Psychiatric Panic Dysorder?

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.
