Mitch, All I know is what his wife tells me, and all she was told was "hypomania". He went to the dr. because he was having a lot of issues in his marriage and finally realized he needed some help. This attitude quickly dissapated and now he feels there is not a problem, then sometimes he feels there is but it can be dealt with by the I Ching, and going to higher spiritual plains. All this while he was self-mutilating. I tried to speak to him again this past weekend and again he told me how he was going about treating himself spiritually instead. He has threatened suicide in the past, and has engaged in very dangerous behaviour. I don't know if I should play "good cop" or "bad cop"!! What do you think? Do I have a right to call his psychiatrist? We really want him to go to a different psychiatrist but he doesn't want to because we think he can easily bamboozle this one, plus he gets the valium. Don't know what to do.
