A few months ago my ex brought me to a psychiatrist who he wanted to see my daughter. After one meeting and without really speaking directly to her, the psychiatrist said she probably needs anti-depressants. I immediately voiced my concerns and made it clear that I do not want to medicate her. I refused to return to see this psychiatrist because he was really pushing a dangerous drug without knowing anything about my daughter but what my ex told him and dismissed everything I said.
A couple of months later I found out my ex had made an appointment to take my daughter fur a check up. After mediation it had been decided that I would take care of check ups and we already had an appointment for the following week with the Doctor that she has been seeing for years. I confronted him and he lost it screaming etc, and finally I just said I'd go with them. There I found out he had spoken to that new doctor about medicating my daughter. She said she'd get her in to see their therapist and contact each of us. I had not heard anything.
Last night I found out that my ex took my daughter back to that original psychiatrist whom I had told I was against giving my daughter anti-depressants at this point. He got a prescription and forced her to take it in the morning. All of this was behind my back and knowing I was against it.
My question is. Can I hold the psychiatrist accountable given he knew we are divorced and I was against it and I was not present when he prescribed the meds. And can I stop my ex from continuing to give her this psychotropic drug that is extremely addictive and I truly believe she does not need. She is nowhere near depressed. She is always happy when she is with me.
