Well, he hasn't made an appt. yet, and in fact, went and got his old prescription for Effexor refilled (the day after he agreed to make an appt. with a psychiatrist.) He's seemed pretty OK the last couple of days (even managed to call me regarding a change in his travel schedule, which is atypical.)
He must really not want to go get treated, but my psychologist said it is up to Husband to get the help that he needs (just like you said.) And he said even the patients he treat who are about the worst off still manage to complete tasks, get to appointments, and such. I think Husband believes it's better to kind of hover in this middle depression zone than finally go all of the way through some thorough drug and therapy treatment. And I can't do that for him.
So, we definitely have some more talking to do. Thanks for all of the support :)
