He's been very irritable recently - snappy and lots of arguments, not communicative. Tonight we had a huge row about finances (which we really didn't need to have - we are fortunate and not in any difficulties). Later he was very upset indeed and we have had a long conversation now about how he is terrified about fascism, anti-semitism and world politics. He hasn't been sleeping for worrying. He was very knocked by the Brexit referendum and has been engaged in opposition to it, he's I think been getting too focused on it - almost completely unable to talk about anything else when we are at social events - and spending a lot of time trawling twitter, which means he reads very unpleasant views and possibly losing perspective. I totally get that he's worried, however I'm concerned he's retreating from the real world, catastrophising etc.
I think these may be signs of depression. I'm very worried about him. I've suggested he sees his GP to talk about things. He thinks I'm being ridiculous - obviously the GP can't fix Brexit or fascism... To him, me mentioning the GP is a sign I am not listening to what he's really worried about.
Are my instincts right. Does he need to see a doctor? Or am I way off the mark?
(I agree with him about Brexit and fascism by the way... I just don't spend all my time thinking about it).
