Not sure if any body can help or even if you are allowed to give names on this forum. If not please pm me.
I am looking for a psychiatrist in the Pontivy area, English speaking would be helpful. We have an ordinance from our doctor but the names he has given us are in the Lamor Plage area which is a 45 minute drive.
I really need to obtain help for my wife. This has been ongoing for a long time and despite being on anti depressants she is not making any progress. She was admitted to a psychiatric hospital two years ago but it was a 50 minute drive for me and they basically dosed her up with Valium.I am unsure if there is a psychiatric hospital in this area. I am getting quite desperate now.
Thank you for any help or if anybody has had experience of this.
Plouguernevel is a psychiatric hospital but it is quite a way from you
There is a psychotherapist is Ploerdut who advertises that she speaks English
What about asking at Pontivy hospital they may be able to advise you
Sorry the only other actual psychiatrists I know of our dementia specialists
Given the complexities of the subject,unless your wife’s French is very good I would do the best I could to find an English speaker
I’m sorry jivedance ,have you logged on to Doctolib….they will show a list of anyone practicing in the area you choose.
If not,your general practitioner is your best guide…he will have details of anyone Practicing.in the general area
I had a Quick Look on Doctolib…there are lots of names…only two in Pontivy but lots in general area.
good luck.
I just want to say I am sorry for you, unfortunately I can’t help but hopefully someone here will be able too. I just want you to feel that I, and I am sure many others are thinking of you. Bon courage

Jivedance, I can only echo what has already been said & send my best wishes to you and your wife. I hope you find the right help that your wife needs.
Jivedance, remember too that it is important that you make a bit of time for yourself one way or another. Things are very stressful for you and it’s no good for either of you if you make or allow yourself to get poorly.
Good luck.

How did you get on JD, did you find someone to help?
Bonjour. Thanks for asking. However at the moment my wife is refusing to see one. I cannot make her so I am working on it to see if she will change her mind. I will not sign for her to see one. I did this a few years ago and it was not a great success. So I am not going down that road again.
Thanks.
Oh bless you Jivedance I do hope you have success with persuading your wife. Have you got support for yourself too? I hope so.

Thinking of you and your wife….its really hard in life to accept that you need help.
Covid made a huge difference to many people mental health.
i Hope you are successful in persuading her to talk to someone…a professional.
good luck.
