Thanks, Sara.

I'm the one with the low libido, so he's not worried about that side effect, but there are other side effects that make anti-depressants something he won't try.

He's also not willing to go to therapy, as he feels like it wouldn't offer him anything that his own introspection and thinking won't provide. I have my own thoughts about that, but it is his decision, and continuing to argue won't help.

Some of it (hard to say how much) is seasonal, and he combats that by spending several months in a sunnier place.
