A number of people have mental issues while on ADT. The solution really is to see a psychiatrist so you can get a prescription for a drug that will relieve the depression and change the mood. People in this forum have said that being on one of the below drugs has changed their life completely and just made everything easier. Not each drug works for everyone, but one of the drugs that’s available today works to really change the mood.
Common drugs for depression and anxiety
Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Effexor, Buspirone, Cymbalta, Lexipro, Prozac, Celexa, Paxil

Jeff is right on. I'm on Escitalopram and it's made a huge difference. I'm on the lowest dose and I'm not moody or depressed at all. The C word can do that very easily. Definitely think about something like this for hubby. Good luck to you guys!!! < 3

My experience and my wife's are that some of these drugs made mental issues worse and they came with side effects. Everyone is different and these meds should be taken with a lot of caution and only with qualified medical care. Many personal doctors lack the proper training and experience to prescribe mind altering drugs.
