In reply to is anger a sign of depression or.....?, posted by N.P. on May 24, 2001, at 0:09:31
Your husband is EXACTLY like my dad...a classic case of undiagnosed ADHD. I have it my brother has it, but my Dad won't see a shrink because of the stigma. But if you could get your husband somehow into someone highly recommended (like my Mom is trying to do) His chemical inbalance can easily be fixed..It's making the appointment that's the hardest part! But think of the benefits!
Here's something that realy concerns me, so if anyone have any comments please do post them. Since I can not get doctors opinion on that.. My husband refuses to go to Pdoc. He has anger attacks. Nothing dangerous , all verbal, not even foul language, but it really makes marriage to him a misery. Sounds stupid - I admit it - but when he is "normal" he is a realy good man. He is too much into computers (his profession), music and any kind of screen (TV, VCR, computers). He only procrastinates about certain things. Like reading to kids - that is like - impossible. He'd rather play computer games with them. And back to anger. When he is angry he'll get me or kids no matter what we do. He just needs somebody to be unhappy. To cry even maybe. He had lousy parents that fought a lot, yelled at him and used corporal punishment untill he was nine. But he doesn't use that as exuse. He just thinks that he is "right" when he's angry. That there's a perfect reason to be angry. Of course my goal is to convince him to go to phychiatrist, but meanwhile... Does anyone have any comments? .. Thanks..
