Glad you have found the right meds and they are working. That is great. I hope no one thinks recording someone, in any situation, is okay. It is not. I certainly wouldn't like it. I don't even like my picture taken, never have.
I hope your BF will find the right help for his depression. It is a battle I understand and know can be won. The win doesn't always 'stick' but the I know that if you got out of it once, you can do it again. That is my hope for him.
