I do not have a relationship with either of my psychiatrists outside of sessions. If I need to communicate with them between scheduled appointments I do so via their offices. They have been good about fitting me in between appointments.

I've have made my feelings known on this board that I feel it unfair to expect my mental healthcare team to be readily available and I have voiced my opinion already that I think email and texting appaullingly inappropriate. Not only do I find this to be an invasion of their own life but I think crosses that line of a professionalism and risks the onset of transference. I am no doubt tee-ing off a great many but I feel strongly about this. It wouldn't occur to me to try to reach my pyschiatrists out of office hours. I think, I repeat, it unfair of us to expect that as a right. Be happy if you do have a professional who will offer that service but don't expect that should occur. As it says right in both of their message services - go to the ER.
