I told my family doctor yesterday, that I am hoarding my Ativan pills. Is he legally required to tell my psychiatrist or therapist?
I have major depression, severe, PTSD, anxiety disorder, and personality disorder. I had an appointment with my doctor. I was very upset, and I shared with him about that particular drug.

Your doctor might be required to tell your psychiatrist - especially if your doctor is concerned about your safety.It was definitely a good thing that you told your primary care physician about what is going on. I know that must have been difficult to talk about with him. By having that conversation, you are helping your primary care physician and your psychiatrist work together to best support your health.
Saya mengalami depresi berat, PTSD, gangguan kecemasan, dan gangguan kepribadian. Saya telah membuat janji dengan dokter saya. Saya sangat kecewa, dan saya berbagi dengannya tentang obat tertentu itu.
Dokter Anda mungkin diwajibkan untuk memberi tahu psikiater Anda - terutama jika dokter Anda khawatir tentang keselamatan Anda. Tentu saja, itu adalah hal yang baik bahwa Anda memberi tahu dokter perawatan primer Anda tentang apa yang terjadi. Saya tahu itu pasti sulit untuk dibicarakan dengan dia. Dengan melakukan percakapan itu, Anda membantu dokter perawatan primer dan psikiater Anda bekerja sama untuk mendukung kesehatan Anda dengan sebaik-baiknya.
