[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 333590, member: 3184"] In my case, a resounding yes. I was dealing ok for the most part untill husband ramped things up. I am fortunate that difficult child's psychiatrist and husband's psychiatrist have at different times inquired to how was I doing, could they do anything to help? At the time, when I needed the help the most I was unable to ask. Thankfully my therapist pushed me to get help, even offering to make an appointment for me. I emailed difficult child's psychiatrist to ask if he would see me (emailed in the afternoon) and he had his secretary call me the next morning to set up an appointment in that same week. I had first tried husband's psychiatrist, but his earliest appointment was 3 weeks out, and husband had to be ok with me seeing him. husband was not---said that if "they" new we were both "crazy" and on medications then "they" could lock us both up and then what would happen to the kids? Gotta love that paranoia. Any wonder why I need medications? I am really fortunate to have the professionals involved that we do. I think the stress that our kiddos/family members cause us is at the root of the anxiety/depression. I don't know if the biological issue is as strong as the stress issue. [/QUOTE]
