Help with hubby's depression

[sickandtired]

My hubby suffers severe depression. Currently not on any medication but is now refusing to eat or drink. How long can he carry on like this before something bad happens? I've tried pleading, crying and begging but he refuses to budge. So how long can he last without food and drink and what will happen to him?

SO pleased for you s and t. I've been thinking about you a lot since your post. I hope your husband gets and takes the help from your doctor. Best wishes to you. Some of the other posters will know that I went through the same sort of thing back in February but it wasn't depression that caused his problem. I'm sure your husband's symptoms are eminently treatable and they will be.

Ah excellent.
Best of luck both of you, for the future.
