My experience has been that most of the doctors I've been to, have been extremely helpful. Especially those who HAD TIME to talk with me properly, in their office/surgery, such as my GP, my neurologist, psychiatrist - only saw him once, my therapist. On the other hand, the busy ER doctors were extremely abrupt, and I can't blame them. The help and care I received has been excellent, and there is no shame in admitting that you need help. I should have done it sooner, even though I was so afraid and embarassed in the beginning...
