Depression
by stay at home mom of 3, May 31, 2007 12:00AM
My husband is showing signs of depression. He is completely overwhelmed with EVERYTHING. He is gaining alot of weight, he doesn't want to go anywhere, and he is ALWAYS crabby. I try to be very sensitive, but I also have 3 kids that I am trying to be very conscious of. He does not want to go to the doctor, he doesn't want to be on medicine, he won't exercise (he says there is no time)....... HELP-I am at a loss!

If he doesn't want medication or psychotherapy, then he may benefit by an indirect form of self help therapy that he can find on shrinkyourself.com, which is focus on stress and emotional eating, but goes deep into what may be bothering him.
