........... I struggle with depression. I recognized that my husband was depressed for a spell about two years ago. Doctor agreed and prescribed an SSRI. He took a few and then refused.

Over time he got better. When he finally accepted that he was depressed, that it was a legitimate illness, I brought up the subject of the need for medication for this illness more than once. Many times.

He agreed with me and said if ever again he would take meds. He really only processed it when he was feeling better.

Now, we will see if his mind changes IF it ever happens again and his mind is in that state!
