Dealing with depression

Started by Patty99 on July 29, 2008 10:15 PM

My husband has been rather depressed lately. I think he's tired of working (and I don't blame him) and I have a feeling he's a little bored with his day-to-day routine. I'm trying to help by being loving and supportive. I've even surprised him a few times with special dates and gifts. We have a really great relationships, and it pains me to see him like this. I've suggested that maybe it might be beneficial to speak with a therapist or see his doctor. He's hesitant. I want to be sure to nip this in the bud before it gets out of control for him and for our relationship. What should I do? Anyone else have spouses who are struggling with depression?

Scales Don't Measure Up

Posted August 27, 2007 3:30 PM

Don't rate your weight management success by your bathroom scales, advises ThirdAge fitness expert Chad Tackett. "Your weight does not reflect how healthy you are or the progress you've made," Tackett says.
