Hello I am hoping someone can help me. My husband has chronic fatigue syndrome and can usually cope with this. Recently however his work has become very stressful and his symptoms have become much worse, with depression featuring heavily most days. We are due our first child in November, and at the rate we are going, I can see myself having to look after an ill husband and a newborn. He was on antidepressants before but had horrible side effects and he is very reluctant to go back on anything like that again, I have suggested St Johns Wort as an alternative, but he has been on this before with little effect. We have tried healthy eating, exercise, meditation, acupuncture, reiki, massages, multivitamins, hair-samples sent away, to find out any allergies/lacks in his body, natural herbal remedies, doctors tests (always come back clear.) He has been signed off work before but sitting about at home made the depression worse.
We are at the end of our tether and desperately need help before the baby comes and would love some advice of other things that helped depression/CFS in anyone else.
Please help
Thank you
