[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with clinical and severe GAD, [b]he NEEDS to be medicated.[/b] It's 1000% unfair for him to refuse that and act this way towards you and the kids. I will never forget, early in our marriage, when my generally kind-hearted and thoughtful husband said 'this isn't a marriage!' because my anxiety had overwhelmed him and dominated our relationship so much. I'm medicated now, well over a decade later, and it's life changing.[/quote] That's great it worked for you, but not everyone responds well to medication. There are non-medication approaches (I'm the PP who posted about CBT). Some have had success with mindfulness-based interventions, too. Different approaches work for different people--OP's husband didn't like meds when he tried before. He can either try again, try a different med regimen, or switch to a research-based non-medication treatment.[/quote]
