Hi and welcome. Sometimes, gentle persuasion to get your loved one to the doctors, sometimes being blunt, does the job. It’s hard to know which but he has admitted there’s a problem, which is a good step in the right direction. Unfortunately, as with most physical health problems, going it alone without your doctor doesn't often work. If it’s medication he’s concerned about, actually, for mild to moderate depression, it’s generally thought now that medication shouldn’t be the first line of defence and other options should be considered - eg counselling, CBT (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cognit...l-therapy-cbt/) etc. You’re right, though, he hasn’t been diagnosed so you’re speculating but that’s where seeing a doctor is so important because once you know what’s going on, then you can both deal with it together.

As for you, it’s vital you give yourself space and some me time has supporting someone who’s struggling is exhausting - even if it’s someone you love. Do you have anyone you can talk to for support?
