Living with a husband with Depression
| Fri, 08-20-2004 - 2:41am |
My husband has recently been diagnosed with depression (I think he has been depressed for over 2 years). He says he doesn't want to do anything about it - definately not meds. I'm falling apart. I thought the diagnosis would be the first step to getting back to the life we had before this horrible illness robbed us of joy. I certainy can't tell him what to do, but how can I encourage him to seek some help, through therapy, medication - whatever it takes? Is there any way I can motivate him? I don;t know how much more of this sadness I can take.
Thanks
Wendy
