Yes, I have talked with his doctors about his changes. I have told them he is depressed. I have told him he is depressed and we have discussed the signs/symptoms of depression. I have serious depression and know it well. His PCP asked him if he felt down sometimes to which hubby affirmed that he did. The doctor's response was, "Well, we all get that way from time to time. It comes with getting older." When hubby told me this I nearly exploded but didn't as he trusts this doctor and my speaking against him doesn't help matters. I on the other hand don't trust this doctor as far as I can throw him.

Hello @cindyt63,

I'm sorry to hear that your husband's PCP was not more proactive when your husband mentioned his depression.

Have you considered a second opinion? It might be helpful so that both you and your husband could have a better quality of life.
