Can you answer Irish Gypsy’s question about Depression?:

My husband is currently in Iraq and is showing signs of clinical depression(I’m a nurse by the way), his self esteem is nothing and he has convinced himself that I should find someone new because He is not worthy of me. I’m afraid if he stays in we will end up divorced.

    Depression Feedback: i think it is but only if its diagnosed by army medical, and they arent likely to do that unless its a really severe case.
