The woman I have a child with has a severe depressive disorder. She gets violent when depressed and dosen't take medication either good or bad. She often gets commited.
The problem is that the doctors the county sends her to give her drugs that don't help her get better. They misdiagnose her as psychotic and ignore the treatment plan I have for her from a year of meditition and prayer. They give her drugs that block our attraction to eachother instead of helping her recover. They brush me off as if I'm just some idiot. With what they are giving her she won't feel so bad about killing herself when her life isn't to her liking. Her life won't go well with the drugs they push on her. My meditations tell me that she should have lithium and education to build herself up. Doctors scoff that I'm not a doctor.
Both our relationship and her life are threatened by this less than positive medical practice.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on your handmaiden who is suffering mentally, and on Richard who cares for her so deeply. O Physician of Souls, direct her physicians, and grant healing to your handmaiden.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Through the intercessions of our Theotokos and our Wonder WorkerSaint Nektarios, that you yourself have gifted us with, please help Richard and his wife. Remove the self destructivness within her, that makes her violent, and the rebellion towards doing what is best for herself. Give her the strength and the enlightenment that only You can give.
Dear Richard,
Also church is very important. If she is devout, then have some special prayers said for her. If she's not devout, they pray for her spiritual growth.
If you want, I can tell you where you can get some holy oil of my wonder working Saint Nektarios.
Wish you the best.
God Bless,
Zenovia

Dear Richard, You are certainly up against it, aren't you? I offer my humble prayers for you and the mother of your child. You are in a difficult position to assist with medical decisionmaking if you are not legally married, though you clearly care for her deeply. Unfortunately its just the way it is.
You know that your continued prayers to God for her wellbeing will be more effective than debating her medical team, so keep praying! You can believe we will all add our prayers to yours for a positive outcome. God bless!

0 Christ our God, who at all times and at every hour, both in heaven and on earth, are worshipped and glorified, long;suffering and plenteous in mercy and compassion; who love the just and show mercy to the sinners; who call all men to salvation through the promise of the blessings to come: Do you, the same Lord, receive also our supplications at this present time, and direct our lives according to your commandments. Sanctify our souls; purify our bodies; set our minds right; clear up our thoughts, and deliver us from every sorrow, evil and distress. Surround us with your holy Angels so that being guarded and guided by their presence, we may arrive at the unity of the faith and the knowledge of your ineffable glory; for blessed are you unto the ages of ages. Amen.
