[|Human|] My son may be depressed. He will turn 38 on Wednesday  ad made a comment to his wife today that he thinks he is living in a dieing body.  He lacks enthusiasm for anything, including his wife, kids and me.  He has blown us all off.  He is chronically tired even thought he was diagnosed with sleep apnea and uses the machine.  He makes good money, but doesnt have a dime in his pocket.  He doesnt use drugs, smoke or drink.  He has a stressful job and worries about finances. He has become very demanding and controlling,  even though he cant make decisions.  He cries a lot.  He refuses to go the doctor because o fmedical bills.
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand your concern for your son. Going by what you have mentioned, it is highly likely that your son is suffering from depression. You should make him visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment. Medications like Escitalopram are effective treatment options for depression. As a father, you can discuss his problems on a regular basis with him. Give him time to open up and let him speak whatever he wants to. You would really be helpful, if you could just listen to him without being judgmental. Slowly you can motivate him to seek treatment. Also exercising on a daily basis is advisable. Best wishes.
