I just think that primary care physicians generally don't have a wealth of expertise when it comes to dealing with depression- and they are human beings with their own insecurities and failings. Diagnosing someone's physical ailment, in a detatched, objective way, is something they're used to. Ascertaining the deep inner emotional bowels of struggling soul is a completely different matter.

My Dr. asks me everytime I see her for my depression if I'm having suicidal thoughts and sometimes when I'm seeing her for other things as well.  This is something I can't remember her not doing before my suicide attempt but she might not have I'm not sure.  I know it never suprised me afterward that she asked...it was just like asking if I'd been feeling dizzy(I have an issue with this) just another normally asked question.  You might say if she was asking and you still made it to attempt whats is the piont well I hadn't been to her for quite awhile before the attempt I had taking myself off my meds against her advice I was having issues with my therapist(first one retired scond transfered to another office third one kept canceling appiontments then quit...and they never found me a fourth and I was like well if you guys don't care then screw it)  I was young and stupid.  I don't have a therapist anymore but I am more closely monitored by Dr. now.

I have been seeing this wonderful man, who told me he takes medication for depression. I have wanted to talk to him about it but I didn't want him to think it was an issue in our relationship because I really just want to know more about it, so I never brought the subject up. Recently he has taken me on an emotional rollercoaster and made me wonder what happened to our relationship since I had no idea what was going on. When I confronted him about his behavior he admitted to not refilling his medication. I want to understand and be supportive but I am confused and I have no idea how to talk to him about it without having him lash out at me like he has been. I am hoping someone would give me some advice.
