Organic food prevents illness
He is moody, but the docter said he wasnt depressed and is sending him to a neurologlist in the AM. Does any one know what this could be? ANYONE WHI HAS A SMART BUTT ATTITUDE PLEASE DO NOT REPLY! SERIOUS PEOPLE ONLY! THANKS
He wanted me to add that he was a musican and songwriter and he seems he lost it all for the past three years!
Depending on the doctor, I would get a second opinion. Unless he consulted a psychologist or a psychiatrist, the diagnosis of “not depressed” may be incorrect or insufficient.
Depression and anxiety have a range of causes and are linked to so many aspects of living. Even things like lack of sunlight (circadian rhythms and melatonin production) or poor diet (slight food allergies or intolerances) can give people the blues.
Finally, maybe he just needs a little:
A – Reinforcement
rewarding night out, a few compliments, romance, some encouragement, brainstorming, coercion
or
B – Punishment
kick his ass off that couch and say “listen buddy” and give him a piece of your mind. Move the couch or hide the remote.
I would try both in even measure.
One thing I do know is that while a person might need a week or two down time every now and again, that does NOT entitle them to laze about for an indefinite amount of time while another person assumes the responsibility of cleaning, cooking, and bread winning.
You need to stick up for yourself.
I’d get a second opinion I had the same symptoms and it was depression.I had post partum depression which would not be the problem he has but it could even be an underlying condition causing depression.
Added-I’m still sticking with depression which causes you to lose interest in the things you love(music).

I’m not sure, but I notice if I get out of a routine it’s hard to get back into it. I recall studies about unemployment showing the longer someone is unemployed the more likely they will stay unemployed.

Sounds like depression to me…

I would get a second opinion, it does sound like depression. Although sending him to a neurologist is an excellent idea, that will rule out any physical cause for his apathy toward life. Good luck… I hope he is back to his old self (or better!) soon!!

I would have to say depression also. When you experience depression, it is almost like you feel that everything just comes to a stand still. You dont’ feel like doing anything and you really don’t care about anything. Basically, you just sit and rethink the things that you are depressed about, which makes you more depressed. That is why it is so important to get help with depression…

What "doctor" said this. If it wasn’t someone in the field of psychology making an evaluation after counseling, then don’t believe it.
That other referral to the Neurologist will cost you a lot of money, I will guess that he is friends with the other doctor.
You husband needs to see a counselor to talk about what is happening.

Did he ever have a head injury? Traumatic brain injury can cause symptoms like this. This is all I can think of right now…hmm I’ll get back to you if I think of something else.

People can go through spells of depression without being mentally ill. When you live in our modern world, deal with all that we deal with and also face the fact that life is not the beautiful fairytale with the happy ending that we are taught as a child; people can become disillusioned and feel at a loss from time to time. If this "mood" persists then you should absolutely seek out professional help, but many of us also feel this way from time to time, and just need a little encouragment and reminder of what is good in life in order to move on.

Lots of stress and mental tension causes of this kind of behaviour. Need to drink lot of water and and start meditation.
Might be thinking of something which he is not disclosing. Try to speak to him , make him laugh and try to bring the energy back and can also follow few teckniks given in my blog

First of all, it’s not the best thing to categorize someone in the depression slot so quickly. Saddness and lack of motivation can come from anything. Just because he is feeling this way, doesn’t mean there is something messed up in his head. Often times, these feelings come from your soul, not your head.
Try getting him out of the house to do something he wants to do. If he doesn’t want to do anything, just get him in the car and take him to some place you haven’t ever been to and do something you think would be fun or pleasant. Just trying a couple things out of the ordinary will help him come out of this shell.
If you are having winter weather there, this is probably part of the reason he is feeling blue. Winter can be long and cold and gloomy.
Try doing things you wouldn’t normally do. Have him make tea with you. The good, loose leaf kind(if you don’t already). If you don’t know how, learn together. Bake a cake and make some crazy decorations with him, even if he just watches. Go for a walk with him and see who can take the most photos of bugs you find along the way.
When a person feels this way, all they want to do is be left alone, but that is the worst thing to have.
I hope he starts feeling better soon. This can be a really hard time : [

It does sound like depression. Although, sometimes people need to hit rock bottom to feel alive. If they have always been the over achiever, taking on all the responsibilties (or feels they do). People just break. Need attention. Someone to take care of them a while. If you are married to this person. Good Luck and stay strong. They are probably narsasistic and have crashed. So sad.

Some people are depressed and don’t even now it. I never thought that I can be depressed but I actually was when I didn’t think so neither did my physician. I would get a second oppinion from a specialist. A psychiatrist that specializes in these cases would be my recommendation.

Still sounds like Depression- to me. Something has gotten "in the way" of that person’s "Creative Spirit", & it needs to be addressed before He can get on with his life. Get Him OFF that Couch- & into the World so he can find out what’s Wrong….. Sitting in a "rut" never solved ANYTHING.

Neurologist? My first medical thought would have been low thyroid. That generally doesn’t require neuro. A frontal lobe tumor could cause personality disturbances.

Unlike half of the other respondent I’d like to take the time to address this question carefully.
Firstly, It’s been diagnosed that he’s not depressed but he’s moody. If you really believe that your doctor, at some point diagnosed him incorrectly then you might check once more.
When you ask in the mental health section you usually get a bunch of bullshit that tries to lead you in the direction of drugs and treatments but when do you sit down and talk to him about it?
Have you sat down and asked him exactly what’s been happening in his life, tried to listen to him and respond? Did you try figuring out what in his life recently might have possibly made him feel this way?
Not everything has to deal with a disorder, not every problem can be fixed by medicine.
If you can avoid it you should, if it’s too much to ask to take the time and try it then by all means go off and shove pills in his mouth till you think he’s normal again.
but before you try anything else, talk it over with him. No matter how trivial it may sound. It might even be something that he doesn’t want to talk about because he’s not sure that you’ll be accepting of it, just be agreeable and don’t push any buttons.
If he continually feels bad than I’d suggest to see a therapist but I seem to hear that most people’s first solution is a disorder.
It could be Bi-polar disorder, if not depression. You might want do be a little more descriptive on the symptoms but even so, it seems simply like depression but it never hurts to dig around as much as possible before stuffing drugs down his throat. (if it’s three years, what has happened in last the three years? that you haven’t described)

i guess it might be that a person has lost his/her way and being that not knowing why your mojo is not working anymore just saps the energy from you.

Physiological processes have a tremendous impact on our consciousness, especially when the organism is lacking a basic necessity such as air, water, food, temperature control, or is being threatened by disease or violence. These urges to keep the body alive and well will tend to take priority over any other motivation. Only when some other motivation is fanatically strong will it be able to override these basic urges.
Also:
Many artists suffering from depression say their creativity is fueled and fostered by emotion and angst, by isolation and solitude. The emotions and angst that may be present in the artist’s mind can help shape the work. These emotions can be conveyed creatively, allowing for the term "self-expression" to come up. When suffering from depression, many artists feel they have the opportunity to lose themselves in the work being created, thus allowing their mind to feel some relief from the strains of depression. When this happens, the artist is able to accomplish what many others struggle withæfocusing almost exclusively on the work without distraction.
I do hope that things atart to look better, soemtimes it just helps to get youraelf out and give yourself a push to do things, everyone goes through this.

My first guess would be clinical depression, but the doctor ruled that out. Did he have a head injury or a stroke three years ago?

Maybe in his case when he sat on the couch he gets his relaxing mood and his negative side opens instantly and thinks maybe I’ll do it later i’m too sleepy and he sleeps and when he wakes he realizes he’s hungry and want’s to eat and someone tells him why aren’t you doing your work not just lay down and sleep all the time and his bad mood comes in and says i’m hungry if i want to eat i will eat and after i eat i will do my work and after eating he feels like siting up at the couch and watches tv because he’s full on what he eats then falls asleep again because of too many eating and tiresome to do work
