A member asked:
Do i have to get a parent involved in order to see a psychiatrist at age 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, at 16 you are a minor and parents need to be involved with psychiatric care. If your age is actually 41 (as listed on your question) your parents do not need to be involved.
