Did I commit misrepresentation?

During my medical, when asked about any history of any mental disorder like depression,
I told the doctor that I had treatment for depression for 2 weeks 2-3 years ago.

After the medical I remembered that I went to see a psychiatrist for a week for not being able to sleep a few months ago.
I went to see the doctor this time only twice and didn't think it was for depression so I forgot to mention this at my medical.

I've not been asked for a further medical request and my visa got approved.

1.When I reveal the more recent visits at my medical for another application, will it affect my new application?
2.If I submit a psychiatric report confirming above information, will I be considered I misrepresented the last time because I didn't tell the doctor about the most recent visits? (the report doesn't specify the second visits were only for insomnia, it's lumped with the depression treatment)


Thank you for reading. I would appreciate any knowledge regarding this.
 
No - you didn't commit misrepresentation. Don't worry. You're fine. Go ahead and use your visa.

Thanks for the reply.
If I apply for PR in the future, and tell the panel physician about the second time I went to see the doctor, which I forgot to mention at my first medical, will it be grounds for misrepresentation?
I'm worried that CIC would dig up my old medical and see my statement which mentions only the first 3 week long visits for depression 3 years ago and think I concealed the truth.

Honestly, the recent visits were for sleeping problems but my doctor's report says it was in connection with deression I had 3 years ago..

Your reply is deeply appreciated.
 
The medical exam for PR asks if you have been treated for serious psychological disorders (bipolar disorder etc) or have had any prolonged treatment and/or repeat hospitalisation. I mentioned my anxiety to my PP and she shrugged it off and didn't record it. I said I'd been to the Dr about it but hadn't been given medication. She didn't record a thing. I'm not saying she was right but i guess the PP understood the question as a serious psychological condition, it seems that a 2 week treatment for insomnia wouldn't fall under that anyway. I mean, do people mention measals or chicken pox? Bad cases of the flu?

There is no need to worry.

If it was important, she would have recorded it and asked for further tests

Chill.

Thanks, i guess its one of those odd things where the applicant says everything, the dr records whatever they seem to want and i guess that's all cic see. It would just suck if someone after PR mentioned to their Canadian Dr something and then got deported because the original pp didn't record it...
