[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Journal her behavior for the next 2 weeks. Send it to her doctor along with some highlights of concerns over the past few months.

Then, let her know that you see that her depression is not being managed adequately, and that it needs to be addressed with her doctor asap.

There is zero chance of getting her out and into a gym, without this step. Going to a gym is a long ways away. Think smaller, like taking a walk as a family.

Continue with the journal. If she will not make and keep an appointment with a doctor within a reasonable amount of time, then talk with her about a trial separation. [/quote]

Op here. Can you communicate with your spouses dr? What about privacy?[/quote]

They can't tell you anything or discuss anything about her with you. You can share information with them that may be helpful in her treatment. Be as factual as you can with the information you provide.  It may lead to the correct medication that will work for her. There can be a huge fear in switching medications. Living with where you are at and with the side effects you know, often seems better than the unknown. The idea of having to try out - adjust to and possibly wean off multiple types can be terrifying. She may not be willing to try. [/quote]
