Im sorry to hear your husband is struggling so much with depression. It is very very common. Hopefully he does realize this and will agree to take meds. Most OC patients have taken soemthing to ease their anxiety at one point or another. It doesnt mean they will need this for a long period of time, just sometimes people need a little help with how devastatign cancer is. I took something only a couple times, maybe about 5 or 6 times I needed it. I think it was called Laxapro, but not completely sure. Hoping things get better soon.
