Hi,
I have been with my husband now for 8 years, and obviously care for him immensely. Earlier on this year, he was diagnosed with depression, and now i feel as though he's almost got himself into this blind tunnel, where everything just comes back to his depression.
He is currently taken fluoexetine 40mg daily, which to be honest just flattens his personality. The effects of these drugs cannot be underestimated, we are also trying for a family, and they are causing problems, in that they make it difficult for him to ejaculate. To be honest i think they have made it more difficult for him to relax, they just make him edgy. Everytime i bring it up, we just end up rowing.
It is just so frustrating - i feel as though doctors just throw pills at people with depression, without offering other avenues, such as councilling, everytime i mention this to him, again just more rows.
I am so frustrated, does anyone else out there live with someone who has depression, and if so what advice would you give me.
Love Lissy
