I was psychotic and hospitalized for a fairly lengthy period of time where my husband was not allowed to receive any information about my whereabouts or condition.

I have just been told that I need to make a plan where if I have another episode, he can make decisions on my behalf if necessary and be informed of my medical situation.

Is that giving him power of attorney? Has anyone ever done this? What exactly does it mean and how would I go about doing it?

Thanks in advance.
