I've seen depression and anxiety in my wife and it's been somewhat hard for me to understand as I've not had to deal with any of these issues before I was married. It's very easy for me just to tell her to chill and accept things, but unless you are the one with symptoms, it's just talk.
She's tried various "flavors of the month" meds with limited success, so now she doesn't take anything. I am very proud and humbled that I have had a mostly positive influence on her condition and have to say that it was hard on me "taking some abuse" from her on the bad days. But I love her to death and know that it is her condition talking and not her heart and soul.
All I can say is that with support, love and understanding, she has now gotten a whole lot better over the 31 years we've been married and I actually heard her say yesterday, "oh f**k it, it's not important!!" One step-at-a-time, one step-at-a-time...
