Mr. Lybrate-user I respect your love n affection towards your wife. You hv to look forward for future. Gives time for meditation daily. Think positive. It helps in recovery. Homoeopathic medicine plays very important role in such cases. Consult personally.

Yes, medicines are likely to help you. but without medicines, psychotherapy can also be used if you, for some reason, don't want to take medicines. An evaluation will be needed to rule out any other physical or psychological problems including bipolar disorder. A diagnosis of depression or adjustment disorder/ prolonged grief reaction will need to be confirmed, which I strongly suspect is the case. Medicines such as fluoxetine, escitalopram or sertraline can be very helpful while also being completely safe. Take care!
