Usually your Doctor will ask questions to try and determine if your safe. No suicidal thinking or self harm etc Some primary care doctors might offer to start someone on a antidepressant... but beyond that a person should see a Pdoc. My husband has depression and our GP prescribes his medication. Where as I have Bipolar and need a Pdoc since it’s a complex illness. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Absolutely nothing. She seems to want to stay away from mental health as much as possible.

My primary didn’t care but I did sign a release A couple weeks ago saying they ( T, Pdoc, sleep doctor) could all talk to my primary. I only signed one because my sleep doctor was being a dodo head and not giving clear instructions on what she wanted. But this hospital system (both the psych and medical part of it) are pretty good at keeping mental health and medical health separate unless it’s obvious one is causing the other.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
