<p>I am so happy that my son’s psychiatrist allows me to communicate with him by email. We’ve developed an excellent relationship over the last three years, and I try to keep the correspondence as brief as possible. On the subject line, I will write “URGENT!” or “Update FYI - not urgent.” I think he’s an unusual doctor, though - even when he goes on vacation, he will tell my son and me that it’s fine for us to contact him if we need to.</p>
