You would need your husband's permission to do this. DH has blanket permission to speak with my pyschiatrist, and to get information, because he's an important partner in coping with my bipolar, but I had to give that permission specifically.

It does sound like something is wrong with your husband, and getting a diagnosis would be the first step towards treating it--I agree about looking for a new doctor, but a pyschiatrist would probably be a better choice than just a therapist (although they can be a key part of treatment too, just not alone.)
