my BF's psichiatry sees him every week, he calls her, and she invited him to a 3 day WK yoga sesion is normal?

I´m really getting concerned about, is it normal to have this close relationship with a psiquiatry? or do they have a crush? is she really trying to help him or just taking advantage? I don't like the situation. he calls her to get his pills bought, to ask her to extra appointments when he feels depresed (she never says no), and now she invited him to a 3 day weekend yoga and meditation group followed by an extraordinary appointment this week to work his issues, is really necesary?

Answers:
Most psychiattrist are going to try and see their patients whenever they need to. Yoga and meditation is a good recommendation that mant are finding helpful with their patients. here may be other weekend workshops also. It is good to find a good psychiatrist that is using all tools necessary yo help.

How long have you been with your bf? He may have issues that he's not ready to discuss with you.. Let him know that you want to be supportive and that you are there for him. Don't try to smother him. Let him know that you're interested in yoga and meditation as it will help you relax. When he's ready, he'll open up. It's not easy being in love with someome who's depressed.
There are support groups for friends and family of depressed.

talk about "intensive" treatment.are you allowed to ever participate in these sessions..? that would better help you know if theres chemistry between the two..it ould just be that she's really reaching out and not in a sexual nature at all.
Not normal, ask here whether u can join the activities with ur BF.
If she reject u with any kind of reason, u knew it.
You also don't mention the length of time he has been seeing her for treatment.If it is more than several months, he is not getting any help, if he is still having depression.
First of all if you 2 are living together then you should be involved 100%. I am bi-polar and I live with my fiance. He is included in my treatment. As far as going away for a weekend my doctor would NEVER invite me to go with him. He would however suggest that I attend things that may help me by being with people that also have the same problems, group therapy does help some people. Depending on how long you 2 have been together, If it is a close relationship let your BF know that you believe that going with him will benefit both of you, that he needs to let his doctor know you will also be attending. As far as extra appointments I do call and get in whenever I need to. My doctor has never turned me away. Which sometimes is every other day for weeks.The best thing to do is confront the situation because it sounds like you want your BF to get the best help he can and that makes you an exceptional girlfriend, most would just walk away. Your a good person.
If his shrink is smart, she wouldn't want anything to do with him. I certainly won't want to have a relationship with someone with THAT many problems. What are you doing with a Kook like that?
Ginnygirl is spot on. I reckon one of the hardest words to spell is psychiatrist. too.

I think your boyfriend is very lucky to have you too.
as nervous as you must make him by your possesiveness and jealousy he most likely needs yoga for stress reduction and meditation to calm him down - alot of psychiatrists are using techniques that are natural and supplementing it with meds but release your hold on him and let him breathe, live, and grow and maybe he will not need as many sessions
That's called a multiple relationship and is a violation of the APA code of ethics. So you have reason to be concerned; it's not healthy for your BF to be tied up with the therapist like that.

And for christ sake it's PSYCHIATRIST.
that is crazy to follow
No. I'd be worried, and INSIST He not go to her anymore..
Actually, it sounds like an ethical violation for a psychiatrist dating/seeing patients out of the office. The weekend thing is definitely a violation of patient/doctor ethical rules and regs.

You could call anonymously a doctor or hospital and ask.and report the doctor to the state's dept of license if you really think she's in trouble. Blue pages of the phone book, or you could look online for dept of licenses - professional for your state.

The doc could be taking advantage of her, but she is vulnerable and would not admit it to you even if you ask.

Good luck, but I think it's past your help.other professionals may give you advise, but keep it anonymous for the state to investigate.if you choose to give them a tip.

Best regards!
hmmm I would be concerned! thats a little to much
I think it could be normal. I have had alot of counselors, etc. over the years and have had close relationships with all of them.
