I understand how shocked you are. But everything Thinker and Tish said is true. You're gonna get some resistance from him at first. But as a person who suffered from uncontrollable depressions for years before I was diagnosed correctly as bipolar, believe me you will be glad once you get on the right meds. It makes all the difference. Try not to panic. My step-daughter and her boyfriend struggled with this when she first started therapy and treatment for depression (they even split up for 3 months) but now they've been married for six years. He's come around to understanding a little better that it's something she needs and that she also needs his support. Even watching me struggle has made him more aware of what it all is about.

Hang in there and try out the meds. Sometimes it takes a while to hit on the right combo but there are lots of them to work with. I wish you the best.
