does depression cause problems in your relationship/marriage?

There are many forms and degrees of emotional disturbance that come under the heading of depression and it is difficult to separate them into clear-cut categories. Grief, unhappiness and anxiety over loss or stressful situations are part of normal living without being patho-logical and there is considerable variation in the way different people respond. If your husband is suffering from manic-depressive illness, he will probably need medication. Manic-depressive illness is successfully treated with time-limited antidepressant medication for acute depressions and with the anti-manic medication for acute depressions and with the anti-manic medication lithium carbonate to maintain mood stability, such as hallucinations or delusions, he may also receive one of the major tranquilizer.

we go under depression with problems and fails in our life.. like losing the one who we love, separation, financial problems, lonliness and ... and a person who is in depression may behave in that way cause she or he needs attention and care and love... that is it..

Depression is a problem that causes problem in everything, be it in relationships, or daily routine. You don't feel like doing anything, you feel frustrated and then you start living your life in a weird way. Depression also tends to mess with your social activities and that is when relationships tends to get messy.

When my first severe depression started my ex-boyfriend and I were still together. It created serious problems in our relationship, because he didn't understand what was going on with me and he thought that I was just lazy. We had many, many arguments during that time and he didn't understand that I couldn't do the same things as before when I had two jobs and worked almost every day. That relationship ended in 2007 and one year later I met my husband. My husband is much, much more understanding and supportive than my ex-boyfriend. He is a big help for me in the periods where I am ill.

I think it is best to just ask people to give you your space. I've told people directly that I don't want to speak. I say speak, end of sentence. I don't add - to them, I don't say why, I don't put a lot of drama into it. Later, because I've said this, I will remember to say to that person that I am feeling better now or something. I don't feel obligated to apologize because I want some free time but I do take other people's feelings into consideration by letting them know later. If they press me to talk to them at the time, I don't. Depression is best traveled alone. Just not for too long. That's how I think anyway. Am I happy to see them or talk to them, actually no.

I'd have to say i agree with the majority of everyone elses posts here. I know it's easier said than done but it is definitely better to get your issues together before involving someone else. If you're already involved in with someone you should try to let them know what's going on with you so they can actually understand and not be so upset when you need your space. Hope everything works out.

Negative personalities are the worst to be around when going through depression. Give yourself a break sometimes and distance yourself from such things.

I think someone who has had this experience of depression must do his best to go with positive and confident people. In looking for someone special, he or she must be a happy person, someone with a positive outlook in life. That way, he or she will be able to help you move on to a normal state of life. If the relationship strains you, then let go of it because it is not good for you.

It does, first we must be sure the other person do loves us because not only depression but any disease is something we might have to go through and if our partner, husband loves us they'll not give up. Now depression can be a burden, imagine the sadness that even with so much work cannot go away, if we love someone it's so sad to see them sad.

Possessiveness is big problem in relationships.That happens when your partner does not understand you well,so the solution can be explanation and discussion,even if you have to be rude.

Usually people dealing with depression turn their problems around towards others..especially those closest to them. Have you suggested counseling to them? Sometimes it seems that way with those I'm closest to (I've received some of those same comments from my loved one), but I don't feel as threatened because of my several year sabbatical away from a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship. I don't pay as much attention it until I realized other people had similar experiences. However, the subtle things I noticed in this relationship are a far cry from the bad one I was in & makes me appreciate my present relationship since the good outweigh the bad. If that is all you are dealing with right now, which is one too many, then you may suggest what I mentioned earlier. If they're not willing to go through with counseling, then you have done all you can. That person has to want help themselves, not an enabler. Hope this helps.
