Teddy and Jane Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 That is great. I'm glad she came clean. Anyway...I also hope she works on not using her depression as an excuse. This PT sounds very unprofessional. Sad to know there's people in the medical profession who are as creepy as him. He doesn't deserve his job.

This PT sounds very unprofessional. Sad to know there's people in the medical profession who are as creepy as him. He doesn't deserve his job. I can rest knowing that none of it was me... it was making me feel very ill inside. Any suggestions on what I should do concerning her depression? I know she was being honest with me (and I am eternally grateful for this), but I don't want my wife to use depression to justify her actions. Especially if (God forbid) something does happen... I don't want to be stuck in that position. I'm sure this could be dangerous to the realtionship if she starts to develop a pattern.
JaneInVegas Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Any suggestions on what I should do concerning her depression? Get her to go to the doctor. Very kindly and diplomatically tell her what her symptoms are, and have her share them with her doctor. (If you suspect she won't go, or won't be completely honest with the doctor, TAKE her and insist on being part of the counseling - just make sure you do so in a kind and respectful way). The doctor may choose to increase her dosage, or add another med to her dosage, or switch her to something different. Meds are kind of a hit and miss thing, doctors use their best judgment for what to prescribe, but every person is different. Sometimes a particular med will stop working altogether and they are forced to try something completely different. This is probably where the two of you need to start focusing all of your attention. I'm glad she talked with you and cleared the air, and was honest with you. You guys are at a good starting point for building momentum towards a better healthier relationship. Good luck to you!!
