How Can I Help My Husband Get Out Of His Depression?
How can I help my husband get out of his depression? He has cirrhosis of the liver. He has not drank for 7 years. He has ascites, so gets tapped. Last one was 2/12 weeks ago. Feet are now swollen. Can't sleep at night. Took him off all diuretics. He is very depressed for the last few days.
Inn case, you liver problem, he can try paroxetine as an antidepressant and lorazepam for sleep due to its short half life. Better to give these drugs under supervision of a psychiatrist as these drugs are not available over the counter. That would help to decrease depressive symptoms a little bit.
Thanks
