How To Relieve The Severe Stress?

My husband has been crying quite alot the past year, I know he's been under a LOT of stress at work. he's 28yr old, 6'2" and 180lbs. I didn't know if it might be from being stressed soo much that his body has been making too much cortisol, and not letting his body absorb the thyroid hormones? If not what else can it be? I think it is somehow related to hormones. We just moved so he would have an easier job with less hours, but he still crys all the time. I feel so helpless.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I do appreciate your concern for your husband. Stress is a condition which can bring the worst out of us. Your husband, as you mentioned is quite stressed and that is leading to depression which is causing his crying episodes. Depression is definitely related to some neurotransmitters like serotonin in the body. Moreover, stress can be correlated with cortisol levels. But to rectify anything, his depression has to be treated.

I would suggest that you seek a psychiatric consultation for him. Treatment with anti-depressants like venlafaxine or escitalopram will be very helpful for him. In addition, exercising daily and doing some meditation will help him reduce his stress and in turn, relax.

Hope that this information was helpful. Best wishes.
