"My husband has had very bad depression and social anxiety disorder since early grade school..."
What was he like when you married him? Why did you marry him if he was depressed? You must really love him.
Four AD's at one time can lead to a crisis situation. I agree with the other posters- he needs a reeaally good medical doctor as well as a good pdoc and therapist. You MUST enlist the aid of supportive, competent people (including friends and family). If there is going to be any long lasting, positive change, it is going to take years to establish.
STEP#1- Get counseling for yourself.STEP#2- Count your blessings. They are there.
STEP#3- Continue your quest for knowledge.
It is a good sign that you care about your own feelings AND the well being of your husband.
I applaud your bravery.
