Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are worried about your husband's problems.You have mentioned many possible diagnoses in your question, but with the limited information that you have provided, it is not possible to come to any definitive conclusion about his diagnosis.

A detailed history and a psychological assessment is necessary to make a proper diagnosis and plan on further management. Since this seems to be distressing you quite a lot, it is important to seek professional help. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help.
