Question by Shane: Is it legal for a Psychiatrist to disallow medicine to a patient?
A friend of mine was seeing a doctor, shes bipolar. She was on zoloft for 2 yrs. She had ran out of her meds, and the psychiatrists’ staff was basically like , “Tough. You havent been here in almost 2 years and you cant have meds again until you come back in and go through therapy.” While I know my friend should have kept her appt, she is mentally unstable and desperately needed her meds. Is this legal? If so, is it at all ethical? She is the sick one, hes the doctor, and why would she be getting her scripts filled this whole time if she hadnt seen him at all? She loses track of time, that is part of the problem but it just seems he should have taken the high road and made sure she had enough meds to go through until her next appt. Help!

Sometimes things are not as they seem when it comes to domestic violence counseling. On the outside looking in, one might think the striking person is the “real” abuser in the relationship. But with closer analysis, it becomes evident that the person holding the control is the psychological abuser.

This psychological abuser may be polite, stable, manipulative and nonaggressive outwardly…and they can even present in therapy as the abused. He/she may be a victim of verbal assault by their partner. But they hold the “control” and they know it. Their intimate partner, however, may not know it.

Instead, this partner who is outwardly aggressive is led to believe that they are the “attacker” and thus the abuser in the relationship. While he/she may be the attacker outwardly, their striking is not about control–to the contrary it’s about a lack of control or a loss of control.
