Psychiatrist diagnosed depression but she disagreed and refused the med (lexapro).
I've heard that so many times, and it is a marriage killer. Even me, my W said I was depressed and asked me many times to go gets some meds, but I wouldn't. In my case, I avoided it because I had a serious case of clinical depression twenty years ago, and I did go on the meds they had at the time. This was before Prozac and the new generation of anti-depressants. Those meds screwed up my head big time. I was only on the meds for a few months, they had a minimal impact on my depression, at best, and it took me several years to get over the side effects. So I was extremely gun-shy about ever going on psyc drugs again, and whatever depression I had wasn't anything near what I had way back then, so I didn't think it was worth the risk. Looking back, I should have tried one of the newer drugs. Might have helped me get out of my rut in time to save my M.
My W did go on anti-depressants for a couple years, and that's what busted her out of her rut, and unfortunately led to her having an A.
