I have been depressed to some extent or another since I met DH 4 years ago, and still he cannot get his head around it/accept it. He has come to the point of "ok, we will agree to disagree/ you have to accept I can't accept it" - he truely believes it's just a state of mind and I really can just 'get over it'. He isn't being nasty about it, he just doesn't get it... but I can't seem to get/help him to get it. My PTSD therapist said she'd talk to him about it, but he never went and that fizzled out, I have put really simple, easy to read/understand info infront of him and he either won't read it, or brushes it aside, or point out the bits about less severe depression just being like feeling abit low for abit, and sometimes you can get over it. How do you do it? To make matters worse - well, to add insult to injury he will happily accept the DLA I get for it

Does your DH accept/understand your depression? If not, how did you help him to?
