Maybe you could ask him if needs a general checkup with your GP, mentioning the symptoms that concern you.

This would be very hard. If he has a close mate that could check in with him that could be a good start, if your funding it to hard to address with him yourself.

Seems he’s life is all about work. Maybe encourage less work and more play. He obviously feels the daily grind building up and every day feels the same. Sit him down and talk to him tell him you have concerns and talk how it can be fixed as a team.

Working long hours, being tired, skipping dinner, erratic sleep patterns are good reasons to be moody. I would just speak out your concerns about that and how important it is to have a good balance in live of work, relaxation, socialisation and relationships. Don’t go into self diagnosis, suggest professional help when needed but these are steps he has to make himself.

Husbands hate admitting something might be wrong and hate going to the doctors. Start by gently asking him how he truly feels. Tired? Anxious? Etc and work from there. Communication is the key.

I would be suggesting a visit to your GP for starters, Men are known for their reluctance to visit medical professionals, but you need to persist. It may not be a big issue that’s easy fixed, and it may be an issue that needs time and work. Good luck

It could just be stress and jack of sleep from what you’ve written. All hubbies are one of a kind so I’m at a loss as to how you should talk to him about this

Husbands can be tough nuts to crack! You’ll just have to sit him down and tell it like it is. Explain how you’re feeling, why you think what you’re thinking. It might take a couple of these chats to get through to him, but keep trying

I do hope this is going well for you!

PLEASE see your doctor or contact lifeline for some professional advice. If it is important enough to post, you should really get some proper help love. I wish you well.

You need to be honest but not attacking,

Sounds like my husband. I started telling him how it was making me feel and that I did not need to stress about him and his moods whilst I am pregnant. Dropped little hints about getting help, leaving out leaflets from Beyond Blue that I told him had fell out a magazine etc. He has started getting help Hope all goes well.

Omg. Don’t try and find a way to approach your husband. It’s so confronting. What are you going to do. Say honey. Let’s talk about how you’re a fruit loop.
Is he actually diagnosed with a mental disorder?? Or do you just think he’s cranky pants working long hours?
Maybe surprise him with a booked weekend away.
Have a favorite meal of his.
Say. How are you feeling? You seem really tired.
Anything you want to talk about?
Try the soft approach. Then jump in with the fact he sounds normal. Pressures are high these days. The strain is difficult.

Visit the Beyond Blue website and you complete the K10 check list. That will give you an indicator if it is depression or not. Will he talk to you, or has something changed at his work? The hours sound extremely stressful. You may enlist one of his friends to talk to him on your behalf. If you can get him to a GP, please do.

Mental health problems are hard to talk to anyone about but do not try to self diagnose please. Do talk to him maybe start by what you have observed and tell him how concerned you are then suggest that he see your gp about it either with you or without you

How did you go with this?

I think you just have to come out with it, you’re only doing it because you care. Goodluck

I hope all is going well. Just be honest. He knows you love him.

Good luck with it all sweetheart!

Try to approach him indirectly. Don’t show him that you are worry as this can worry him even more. Don’t tell him he has a mental problem as he will get mad.

It’s quite hard to talk to him. You never know how he will react. Maybe you can encourage him to take some holiday, work less. Go outside to refresh his mind. This will improve his situation. Encourage him to talk about his feeling to you, and be very patient.
