He seems to think it's gotten worse.. He self harmed a couple of weeks ago when he first started them and says how he still wakes up every morning feeling lost and like he's lost a bit of himself..
These last couple of days he says how he has felt really angry for no known reason and how's he's extremely agitated and irritable all the time..
When's he got an appointment?

Anger and irritability can be common, I’ve been struggling with that recently. And, sometimes, you can feel worse as you’re feeling better - as the numbness disappears the more volatile emotions can reappear itms.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
He's got an appointment next Friday.. That will be 1 month of being on the 40mg Citalopram instead of 20mg (which he was on for 1 month before changing it) ...
Ahh yes that makes perfect sense Paula.. He has always been very able to show anger as an emotion.. It has always been his go to..
I am not sure what the doctor will suggest then...
Maybe some anger management?

The doctor referred him for some when he went last month.. Still waiting to hear back from the referral...
He could call to chase the appointment?

Yeah I think he probably will have to.. Perhaps I will ask him.. But he's not got my "umph" to do stuff I.e. go a get his blood tests or do his medical sample which he was asked to do on the 13th April....
But that's all part of his illness love. You can't expect him to have an "umph" when he's struggling so much just to get up and face another day.....
