[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your replies. OP here. This is about DH and he seems out of it for a few months now. A lot of the symptoms fit, specially the anger and irritability, lack of interest in nyhingetc. how do I help him? Hugs and kisses don't seem to work[/quote] Get him to his PCP, ideally with you accompanying him so you can share your perspective on his symptoms too. People in the throes of depression often have a hard time recognizing 1) that there is a problem 2) exactly how their quality of life has declined 3) how their behavior is affecting those around them. Also educate yourself on depression as much as possible. It is draining to support a spouse through mental illness but you have to try and treat it like cancer, i.e. prepare yourself for the long haul and don't blame him.[/quote]
