Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
How can I help my wife with her depression?
Related Topics
My wife was diagnosed with depression 6 years ago. We’re married almost 3 years. Earlier this year she attempted to come off her antidepressants with the help of her doctor. She slowly reduced dosage. In this time she became extremely irritated with small things I would do, such as not going to fold the clothes quick enough.
She went back on her medication to full dosage after consulting her doctor. She blames me for going back on her medication as I didn’t support her enough when she was trying to come off of them.
I’m by no means perfect, but when she was trying to come off the medication she would pick on things like I previously mentioned. I understand to me that they were minor but to her, these would have been bigger issues, due to her depression and thought process.
She has told me she wants “space”. I have moved out of the house for the last week. She says she still loves me and cares for me. We text every few days and it’s all positive. What can I do to help her? -
