Suggest Remedy For Depression And Outrageous Behavior

I have been dating a man for two years. He is a great person and I truly am blessed to have him. He however deals with issues of depression and angry outrages at times and I want to help him. He wants help as well. He does not take criticism well and wil flip just like that if you bring something to his attention that was wrong on his part, he yells, makes threats, screams at the top of his lungs in your face hateful things and then once he calms down apologizes all over himself for saying those things and acting that way. He has threatened suicide before due to being depressed. He has a thousand reasons to be happy and thankful, however always acts like the world is against him. Noone has it as bad as he does (according to him). Like I say, anyone on the outside looking in would NEVER know these things, but living with him and seeing it first hand is shockingly scary. I want to help him. What do You think? He is very self consumed and keeps everything including all movie tickets, cards, etc.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. From the given details it seems that your friend is troubled with anger and outrageous behavior. These are emotional impulses and need to be controlled. If the person is unable to control these emotions himself, this comes under impulsive disorder and further under obsessive compulsive behavior disorder. He needs to be educated about this. Anger management techniques should help him. If still this problem continues, needs expert treatment with a psychiatrist. For now, consult a psychologist for counseling and anger management techniques.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
