Hello.......
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern with your husband's stress level. I suggest you meet a clinical psychologist to get him evaluated for his coping skills and devise/suggest stress management techniques like distraction techniques. I would also suggest breathing relaxation exercises, yoga and meditation to control his stress. No psychotropic medication would be advisable at this stage.
