When he says he's not depressed?
I've been with DH for 12 years. About 4 years ago he had a bout of depression triggered by stress of work and by something from his childhood. He seemed to get over it in a few weeks and refused to see the doctor.
Since then, he's been a totally different person to the person I met. He is very moody these days and there are various other things that make me think he is depressed. I suffer from mild depression myself and take antidepressants almost permanently, so I know the signs to look for.
He admits that he probably is still a bit depressed, but refuses point blank to see a doctor. Has anyone got any suggestions of how I can convince him to see one? I genuinely think he needs a stint on antidepressants.
I feel like I cannot carry on with things the way they are; his moods cast a shadow on the family as a whole, and I feel like he prevents the DC and I from enjoying things as much as we could/should.
Any suggestions or advice would be great, thank you
