Appointment with Pdoc

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow.

Would my psychiatrist involuntarily commit me to a hospital if I tell her I have suicidal ideation and intrusive thoughts of harming people??

Should I hide it?

I know how you are feeling but it’s probably best to be open with your pdoc.

I don’t mind inpatient, or rehab if I get to leave when I want. I am waiting for a job hiring process to complete.

I told my pdoc stuff like that in 2021 and she didnt send me to inpatient. She said if I had planned to carry out plans then I needed to go.

Maybe theyll help you with antidepressant

Definitely not. You have to be 100% honest with them. You won’t get the help you need otherwise.

I think it’s important to tell your pdoc because what if you need a med adjustment? If you get proper treatment, your job search may improve quite a lot

Your right, just that suicide and idea of hurting of someone is not really a pleasant thing to hear.

I’ve abused my prescription pills, I’m afraid it might spiral out of hand

It’s not about making the pdoc feel good. It’s about your mental health, and the safety of yourself and others.

Once I told my pdoc that I had homicidal ideation and all he did was increase my haloperidol and never mentioned hospital that time

Oh gosh I wouldn’t think increasing my abilify will help me neither…:slightly_frowning_face: they didn’t ask you why you have those thoughts?

My therapist once said it is normal to have homicidal thoughts, but I am not so sure on that
