How To Deal With My Husband Suffering From Major Depression?
My husband has recently been dealing with major depression. He is seeing a therapist and getting treatment. He feels a lot of anxiety and shares feelings of wanting to leave me (claiming maybe the marrige is the cause of the depression) but also says he really doesn't want that. How can I best support his treatment while also expressing my fear, anxiety and hurt from his telling me his thoughts of loss of his family? Is this a common reasoning mid- age men have to try to explain their depression?
It happens in number of cases due to underline depression, patients develop some cognitive distortions and due to them, they have conflicts with their family member. In that case, he needs antidepressants as well as cognitive behavior therapy. Better to consult a psychologist for CBT.
Thanks
