Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problems

my spouse is much quieter than I; I enjoy people; I am in 67 now and he is getting quieter every day; never talks about plans or dreams says he s just happy. does not have any buddies, I am bi polar but no problems as I have had psychiatric help since I was 14. About 5 years ago my husband started having some depression ( his mother was BI-polar as well so he also went to my psychiatrist is on meds but I don t believe he has ever expressesd his concern re being so introverted to the DR. I am sort of at my wits end as he is getting quieter all the time. We are in the process of redying our house to put on the market as it is straining our budget an adding to our problems which he cannot discuss, when I get angry he just says ( what do you wnt me to do) my reply is I can t tell you what to do yoy need to talk to me about what is wrong - which he cannot..

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
The symptoms of your spuse indicate towards depresiion. But as he has family history of bipolar disorder, chance of his depression being bipolar depression are high. I would advice you to start with tablet bupropion 150mg in morning daily and tablet divalproex 500mg in night daily.
Thanks.
