Symptom of depression from a spouse or person living with it!

[erinleigh8]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year almost breaking up only once because of an issue he couldnt tell me about.
Well getting back together he tells me he sees a therapist and is dealing with a lot of things from his past! His thereapist has suggested medication. He is depressed.

He told me yesterday that his feelings for me arent there anymore and havent been for about a month. He says wished they were and doesnt know what to do to get them back and that he knows there is nothing wrong with us or me. He is extremely frustrated that this is happening but cant help it!

QUESTION:
Can depression cause feelings for someone you care about to go away?? He is definetly not himself right now and i dont want to give up! Can medication Help him feel better and to help us be a better couple again??

Please give me some feedback!

Yes and Yes.
It isn't that his feelings have gone away, it's more like they are smothered under the mood.  Medication can help.  

But, If there are True issues with the relationship that he needs to deal with they will still exist after the depression passes.

Medication and therapy can help but he has to willing.You cant do it for .He has to want to get better.Just let him  know you love him and wnat the best for him.Its hard to watch someone you love go through this but it is something he has to do.keep posting and let us know how it goes.
