How Can Depression Be Treated?
my husband suffers from depression and i recently found out that he talks and texts men and women on line that he connects with through Linkedin. Is that normal? He says he is so lonely and he can t talk to me because he is afraid I will hurt him emotionally.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Feeling lonely could be depressive symptom but talking and texting may not be a depressive symptom. It may be known by the content of text. If so, he is depressed. You can start him on Escitalopram 10 mg.
Please let me know about his sleep pattern.
Thank you.
