Suggest Treatment For Depression

My partner suffers from depression. I have tried to talk to him about getting help but he refuses to speak with his GP and he doesn't even talk to me. He is pushing me away that I am starting to feel terrible myself and I just don't know which way to turn. Can you help?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The best method to talk to your partner is not to confront him. You must understand him. He could just be disappointed or disillusioned due to some negative life events or office problems. You may talk to his friends or colleagues before attempting to talk to him. He should feel that you are caring and he can talk to you. It takes time. Alternatively, you may take him to a psychologist for an initial counseling and then diagnosis.

Good luck.
