Thanks GottaGetbetter, dontevenknow, cavaliers and Wa(o)rrior-

I appreciate the thoughts and suggestions. I caught myself for a while trying to steer him a bit and realized that if I did that, there would be an artificial quality to his actions. I think I can imagine him even getting resentful someday if I did. Offering him the opportunity for him to get help when he wanted seemed a good option. He knows I care and will make it available (insurance and copays) but he needs to make the call.

Cavaliers, I am a bit surprised the doc didn't make prescriptions conditional on therapy though he did stress it. Maybe he felt it was a good start but I would think it hard to regulate a proper dosage that way.

All in all he is anxious. I suppose he might feel that his feelings are specific only to himself. He is showing up to work so far (a problem of late) and I think that is helping his outlook a bit.

Thanks to all of you for the advice and encouragement. It is very kind of you and I very much appreciate it. There are a lot of good people here.
