[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 319837, member: 3444"] First of all, YOU are not the one who needs hospitalization because of your illness. Second, NO ONE is getting locked up because of their illness, however, deciding to NOT seek help when you KNOW you need help would be the first step towards realization of husband's worst fear which he verbalized. Third, he cannot prevent you from seeing ANY health care provider. And I see NO reason why you cannot both see the same psychiatrist -- unless the psychiatrist is not professional enough to handle the situation (!) in my opinion, there are benefits to seeing the same professional because this person knows you both very well, knows the situation very well, and would be better able to help you because of that intimate knowledge. husband, the difficult child's and I all see the same psychiatrist. I wouldn't have it any other way, because he KNOWS what we all are dealing with individually and as a collective. And with the difficult child's he can see what they've inherited genetically, so it really can help sort things out. I guess if your husband is really dead-set against you seeing his psychiatrist, now that you've asked him, unless you are willing to revisit this you are stuck now in trying to find someone to help yourself. I sure hope you are able to find someone quickly, because your depression is not likely to lift on its own based on all that you are having to cope with lately. [/QUOTE]
