Thank you snodderly. I don't know if I really deserve much credit on seeking treatment. I was blind to it and it was actually my wife who was the one that first recognized my depression and asked me to go see about it. After I found out that my father had been being treated, and the reality that I was losing her was put out there, I finally woke up and went to the doctor. I wish she could turn that perceptive ability on to herself
In the case of the physician, I am pretty sure it is a case of her not telling him everything, or playing things down. We both happen to see the same physician so I know that he is not necessarily hesitant to perscribe meds. He did give her something for sleeping, she stated that this is something she has dealt with off and on all her life. However, in the 10+ years we've been together, I don't really remember her ever having problems going to sleep.
I think that she doesn;t really want to admit to anyone that she is not in complete control and this causes her to spin things to be better than reality.
