How To Handle Men Who Are Paranoid With Depression & Anger?

My husband is extremely paranoid, depressed, and angry. He is constantly thinking people are talking about him behind his back (complete strangers) or that they are out to put him down. He has very angry outbursts over small things like if he misplaces his phone charger all hell breaks loose. He took depression medication when he was younger but stopped taking it after only 4 months and refuses to take anything to help him. We about to have our first child and Im scared to bring a baby into a family where the father isnt calm and collected any of the time.

I genuinely consider your problems. First we need to know if he is in depression currently or not like whether he looks sad,takes part in works,sleep and appetite. Then the paranoia appears to be delusions. Which appeared first needs to be checked first. Visit a psychiatrist to start medication again. If more problems then get him admitted in psychiatry dept in good hospital. You also need counselling how to deal with different situations. Its a treatable disease.
