> Yes, I know about the forms. Every other doctor he had, when he was asked, he willingly signed the form for us to be told. I don't think she asked him, because he would have signed it.

> Yeah, just a mistake on her part. And it only cost him his life. Oh well...
>Two years ago,my partner of 16 years who I love and are so close to,(and the father of our 5 children) went through a rougth patch.Nothing he couldnt usually deal with.In the past,he had tackled problems,got through them,he also spent time in a rehab,a place where he came out stronger,so much healing went on.They didnt just deal with the alcaholism,they also dealt with everything deeper,including a chilhood of severe abuse.For 6 years he held onto the strength they gave him,and the skills taught,in how to survive in life.So,this time,he was advised by someone to see a therepist.When he went to the place he was given a psychiatrist,we didnt know the difference.This lady started bringing up his past,the past which he had dealt with allready in rehab.It all got dragged up again,and all the emotions with it.She diagnosed him PTSD,and gave him drugs to help,aropax and epilim.Each day went by and his whole character seemed to become possesed,rage came into the picture,character changes where he started acting really narrsistic.I told him I was scared,told him he had to stop taking the drugs,4 weeks he was on them,then he attempted suicide.He tried 4 ways but he amazingly survived.He has permanant damage to his brain,liver,and emotions.They dont seem to care.They also didnt involve me in anything,I was just nothing to this woman,she thought she knew him better than me for some reason.My heart goes out to you.I dont know if I should submit this,because the words you said above should be the last said,it is that sad.
