Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My finance has been depressed for a while now and isn’t himself. He’s been pushing me away and lashing out at me when I try to talk to him and says he doesn’t want any love and compassion from me. It’s beginning to really affect me emotionally and I’m trying to stay strong but it’s getting harder and harder. What’s the best way I can support and help him?
It is difficult for you to support him simply because he wants to avoid you and want to keep you away from him. Trying to help him may backfire. The best way you can help him is to make him consult a therapist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
