Hi Sue yes plenty friends and daughter at home but this is getting her down as well, he is nearly 60 and he has been bad like this for years on and of . The last really bad do was 8 yrs ago the same year as I lost my mam and uncle who lived with us, and I told him then I could not deal with this much more and he had to listen to me as we see the signs before him, them 4yrs ago he was bad but went to docs and got tablets changed he has also seen someone attached to the hospital who said very low stress level and needed tablets ajusted as such. But doc he was under retired and the new one is not that good. My own doctor keeps begging for him to change to him as everytime he is bad I end up on antidepressents and as he says he is treating the wrong paitent but he wont change doctors and I car`nt make him

i dont want to sound cheeky, but how old is he ? and have you any family/ friends to help you ? sue.

hi Sue Ann and Bryan, yes hubby been to docs got tablets changed and they made him worse, made appointment for him to go back and he cancelled it. I phoned docs up told them I was scared but I meant for hubby as he stayed up all night drinking and thats not him, docs said contact S Services, I told them to get lost was`nt frightened of him but what he was doing to himself. They told me to take him of new tablets and put him back on old ones which I did, he improved a bit in 2 days but now seems as bad as ever. The best of it is you could not meet a nicer guy in the world. but now he is calling everyone and hates me

my friend,many years ago,this would have been a real problem. today,the medical profession are waking up to the fact that many people are suffering,the same way your partner is! there is sooo much help available today,but you have to be completely honest,with yourselves,and your gp. todays ante-depressants,have become available,thanks to fantastic research...no one needs to suffer anymore,but the pills available need to be a short term answer,and the patient should seek help from a cognitive behavioural therapist,as referred by the gp....unfortunately the gp needs to be pushed into referring your partner,as the cost comes out of the gp's practice accounts. so...see your doctor !! bryan.

hi there, sounds bad ! have only dealt with father in laws depression , but that is mainly down to his illness. do you have any family to help you out... or an understanding doctor ? am signing off in a mo. i have work early in the morning, if you want to have a good old moan... feel free... message me, i will get back to you tomorrow, sue. xxxx [ chin up!]

Not easy to deal with - can you get him to GP? Or go yourself? Will he talk - do you know what is depressing him? Ann
