My long-term/live-with boyfriend has a mood disorder and anxiety issues. He's on medication which works well. However, he still has the occasional, bad panic attack. I've been trying to convince him to see a psycologist (not necessarily on a regular basis even) to get some copeing techniques. Every time I talk to him about it he gets really upset. He has an appointment with his psychiatrist coming up. I was thinking of e-mailing the psychiatrist asking him to talk to my boyfriend about it. Coming from an expert, my boyfriend would probably listen. And he could get a referral to a good/appropriate one. Would this be totally wrong? Thank you for the help!

I think that is a good idea if you are truly concerned. Of course, the psychologist will not give you any information about your boyfriend but they will listen about a concern. I would email the psychologist and tell them of your concerns and thoughts.

I'm sorry but there is no set way to put things in perspective...It doesn't sound like he takes the child seriously though...otherwise he would have used greater care about impregnating another woman without having properly prepared. People today like think they live for themselves. They're concerned about what they want and it is always the children who pay. Men don't seems to care...It's usually stupid reason for why they impregnate like they don't like the feel of condoms and such. It all amounts to selfishness. If you want to forget about him and focus on the child then you'll have to convince yourself that the child is more important than you are. Men are scoundrels and women are stupid... I know that's not really an answer, but it sounds like old dude is irresponsible and that's not the makings of a father. So for the child's sake you should let him go. No father is better than a dead beat one. Just don't put yourself in a position where you could get pregnant by someone who isn't your life mate again. For such things aren't mistakes. A mistake is turning down the wrong road on your way home. You have a part of yourself coming and that is the only real legacy anyone has. So nurture it.

The Doc wouldnt give out confidential info sorry. It would be between him and his Doc unless he chooses it to share with you.

It would be unethical for the psychiatrist to speak to you without his patient`s permission.
