This just shows me and I hope educate others that we. ( depressed persons) aren't faking, we're not lazy, we aren't running away bc we want to. It's in our brain and that is what everyone uses to rule their emotions we're just not able to control ours ourself jn the same fashion. As far as letting your spouse know it is less fearsome if they actually hear it from a doctor's point of view. Bc of my bipolar my husband has gone thru this with me for 40+yrs. And never once did he leave me or make me feel bad bc of this disease. We cannot control it. We have to embrace it and work with it to be able to forge ahead. It is part of our lives but it doesn't define us. We are still people too and or needs and wants are just as strong as a nondepressed person. We have a little more on our plate to deal with.
