Making an appointment to see a psychiatrist?

Recently I got a dental appointment and I found out that my wife has an appointment on the same day to see her Psychiatrist. See discription

  • The appointments are at the same time. I need a filling and I don't want to cancel my appointment but I want to be with my wife to make sure she answers the Psychiatrist questions as they should be. My wife tends to tell stories and she doesn't share my point of view on what is wrong with her. Should I just call and cancel her appointment and reschedule at a time I can be there and monitor her to make sure she gets the correct treatment/ medication?

  • Answer:

    You mean you want to control your wife. Leave her appointment alone. Even if you go with her you will not be allowed to go into the room with her and the doctor. He is the doctor and he can decide what is wrong with her. From your post I would guess that you are her problem and probably try to control everything she says and does. She would probably be better off to see a divorce lawyer and dump you.

at first ... it sounds like you have controll issues .if thats the case . maybe if you went to both doctors yourself ......... she would be fine . but , i could be reading this wrong .. if you are genuinely concerned about your wife ,, and really feel you can contribute ,,,,, then be with her ... whats more inportant? . your best bet would be to ask her psychiatrist ..... they may not want you there at this time .. they will know best .

Hummm....it's hard to answer this kind of question. If she has a mental health issue then she really might need you around to advocate. If this psychiatrist has been working with your wife for a while, then he/she already know your wife's personality issues & won't make rash decisions. If the psychiatrist doesn't know your wife well, then you might want to make a point to reschedule your appointment. Honestly, If you are being sincere & true in your concern , it doesn't make any difference what anyone on answer bag says, you need to go with your heart.

Wow these people are really judging. They talk alot of shit without even knowing all the details. I can understand Where you are coming from. I have a sister who isn't all right either. She has her version of things and don't realize how she looks to other people. Her boyfriend use to go with her and help. The way I see it is... It's not your place to cancel her appointment. If she wants you to go then you can go. It's not up to you. You need to talk to her if she feels you need to be there. The way you posted this it looks like you make all the decisions. You care I'm sure however doctor appointments are personal even if your married. If she does decide to have you there, then you schedule your dentist appointment at a later or earler time. Don't take peoples word so harshly either. People so quick to jump. Chill.

With what is wrong with her? Even if she has something that affects her so much that you actually need to be with her when she's at the psychiatrist, the psychiatrist is a trained professional. Instead of being with her and censoring her every action, maybe you yourself should sign up with this same psychiatrist and share your point of view. Only then does the psychiatrist get all the information that they need to assess whatever you feel is "wrong" with her compared to what she feels is wrong with her, and hopefully what is wrong with you. Then again, you may want to be more specific. Right now, it seems as if you're just being control freak. (Having to correct your wife because she says things that are often only important to her, and not letting her have guests in your clothing option house..?)
