My husband is always thinking of negative consequences of any situation and not able to adjust to set backs, is very angry on slightest provocation. He also has a family history of suicide (brother). His father had Maniac depression attacks. He had seizure in childhood and is taking Diazepam 10 mg regularly since then. He is 58 years old now. I want to help him as he is miserable himself and makes others around him miserable too. counsellor said he may need anti depressant Tab flexon, Will it help and will it be safe.

Hi lybrate-user, I can understand that you want to help your beloved husband to overcome this negative thinking, I appreciate your care. Do not think about family history now, and do not pinpoint by saying this to your hubby, bcoz this may also one to think that" I also may have got the same problem" like my brother. First always oppose home by talking positive in simple words. Try to divert his thinking to some other topic, task or like hobbies. If this is v�ry much affecting his normal living them you can take him to Psychiatrist for medication. I would suggest you to ask him to attend yoga classes for positivity, meditate to bring control of mind. Take care any further assistance from my side please feel free to contact me. Let God bless you and your hubby. With regards,
