Question: Did my psychiatrist give me a personal or professional opinion/advice!? Is this unethical!?
I recently saw my psychiatrist who has been treating both my husband and me for years (at separate visits)!. He told me at this visit that he "shouldn't tell [me] this, but I will anyway" and proceeded to very angrily tell me that my husband is delusional, psychotic, and needs meds!. He had also at other points in the visit put words in my mouth and barely gave me room to speak!. He had never acted this way before, but appeared to be very agitated and I know that he is the only psychiatrist working at a clinic and also travels to many other clinics in the area!. He (at many other visits) had chit-chatted with me (at his own instigation) and had from the beginning tried to convince me that my relationship with my husband is "hopeless" and is a "matter of convenience"!. There had been many times over the course of my treatment with this psychiatrist that his professional opinion had affected my view of my relationship with my husband!. This advice has caused my marital separation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not an expert in professional ethics for pyschiatrists but I saw several therapists (to deal with depression/perfectionism) during my late 20's!. My general rule of thumb is that if you're this uncomfortable with what he's done/said, it's probably unethical!. The best therapists I have had have given me tools (not advice) so that I could heal my emotional wounds!. They have worked closely with me, guiding me toward healthier choices emotionally, reinforcing skills that I used successfully and changing skills that I couldn't make work!. It would not hurt to see another therapist to get different perspective on your marriage!.
The most effective therapist (and my last one twenty years ago) told me that he needed about 18 months to teach me new habits!. If after 18 months, I didn't feel better -- he would then recommend other therapists who could help me!. And I'll never forget his saying that he firmly believed that the purpose of therapy was to enable the client to live (with her new emotional skills) happily on her own without weekly visits!. 15 months later, I "completed" my therapy and haven't needed it since!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could sue him!. He violated the HIPPA law, telling confidential information of one patient and disclosing it to another!. You should either A) Go to the state, or if he's in a clinic, go and talk to his supervisor!. Tell them if they do not take action immediately, you will go to the state, and besides suing him, you will sue them as well!. You should also go to the state and try and get his license revoked!.
Now on the matter of separation with your husband, try and get back together!. Tell him what happened, and try and think about it!. Did his information affect the relationship!. If It did, just talk it out with him!. If you really do love him, and he really loves you, you can get over it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have to question your psychiatrist than you already know the answer! This is extremely un professional and you need to change doctors ASAP! I wouldn't hesitate to report him as well because this is uncalled for and shouldn't be brushed off!. I would also explain to your husband (maybe not in detail) how your therapist acted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
So advice caused your separation!.

A psychiatrist is supposed to listen to you and you should be able to trust them!.
What you say to a psychiatrist is confedential so he shouldn't have told you anything from your (ex) husbands visits!.
I heard a problem like this before i don't know if its the same situation but a psychiatrist was dealing with people like you and he started to see that they were starting to sort out their problems so he "twisted" what the woman thought about her husband and lead to a divorce!.
You should also tell someone about this!.
Go back to the clinic and ask someone there could you speak to the boss that you want to file a complaint about this person!. To stop it happening to anyone else!. Hope it helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com
