What Causes Severe Depression?
Hi, My husband is 49 years old and has never suffered from depression or any mental illness. Suddenly he has been having sudden bouts of tearfulness that come without warning. He has no idea why. The only other strange symptom which probably is not related is a sudden aversion to salt. It has been going on for a few weeks without any obvious reason why. Not sure what to do....happens daily.
