Is mom depressed?
We have quite a discussion going on in our family whether mom is depressed or not. According to my brother (married to a doctor, so very sensitive when you discuss medical matters…) mom is depressed.
According to my hubby who used to teach "how to give good therapy": mom is grieving, therefore not necessarily in a depression. Hubby says: "if you want to call it a depression, at least specify what kind of depression".
The best could be an exogenous depression, meaning the depression is caused by something outside of mom’s body: be it of course father who died of metastatic liver cancer.
As you can see: when hubby joins any discussion: he wants to hear all but generic words like "a depression".
You don’t go to a shop and ask for "clothes" either do you?
