How can I get my husband to seek counseling for his depression??
Answers: If it was me, Mysteria, I'd wait until the person was in a coherent and manageable mood and express to them how concerned I was about their present condition. During this time, too, I wouldn't tell them that they needed to get treatment, but what I would say is that things can't go on any longer as they are right now. They'll probably ask why and try to argue the point. Perhaps they'll even get angry and leave the house (running away from these things is a common reaction for depressed people). I would remain adamant in my position though. Strong but fair. Again, the person concerned needs to know that things cannot continue the way they are. They need to be aware that their position is not only to care for oneself but to also care for the others around them. Sure, this might require immediate counselling and medication, but only a doctor can decide these issues anyway. Get them to a professional.
Lastly (at the risk of repeating myself) the points I'd make clear are:
1. They will end up living with this monkey on their back for the rest of their life and drag everyone down around them in the process if they don't do something to combat the depression.
2. They could end up institutionalised.
3. They are responsible for more souls than their own, so fleeing or suicide isn't an option.
I wish you well.
