Hi there. You are very welcome to DWD. Please have a look around and see what others are saying about depression.

I don't have any answers for your situation. Has your partner seen a doctor? If you were to print out your post here, and went to the doctor with him, you could hand the post to the doctor and neither of you would need to say anything. The doctor will have seen this before, and will know where to go from here. Medications and therapies have changed and improved over the years. There is probably something that will suit your partner now. Please don't give up. There are solutions out there.
