Hello, I have a wife with MLC syndrome and I appreciate your pain. There are 2 thoughts that I have. The first is if your husband leaving the military has any bearing to why he maybe depressed or have low self esteem. The other is if he is aware of a new medical disorder he may not have shared with you. If he has been in combat he maybe having post traumatic stress disorder. I have a son in Iraq now who came home from mid tour leave and who I feel has PTSD. You can have stresses that may trigger PTSD even if you have been out of combat for years. He really needs a complete medical and pschiatric evaluation. If he agrees to this then at least you exclude some things that you can treat. I am an Internist and as a doctor I feel this needs to be excluded. I will tell you the road is long and bumpy but each day I pray things improve. I have found this site to be very helpful. Take care and God Bless. Bobby O
