[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL finally got on an antidepressant. He is still a horrible, horrible father and person. Hard to tell if it really helped when his baseline behavior is so horrendous, but I guess he is not worse and perhaps, a bit peppier now that he is convinced the pills are reversing this odd neurological disorder where you're unhappy all the time and yell at people and can't sleep and ruminate a lot over how he's retired and it turns out his horrible behavior means that nobody cares about him anymore except his family who he never cared about and in fact was an abusive horrible jackass to forever and ever continuing to today.

(God bless that neurologist who convinced him to take the pills, because he sure was never going to take mental health medication otherwise despite many, many doctors recommending psychiatric treatment as he trundled from one to the next, convinced that regular signs of aging = imminent death despite extensive, extensive testing showing he was...just old. and in great [phsysical] shape for his age.)[/quote]

That sounds awful. I'm sorry you all have to deal with that behavior.
