the medications can cause a lot of problems.You must find a doctor who is expert at fine tuning medications.This is of utmost importance.My Dad suffers from severe depression and was on too many meds.More is not necessarily better.Also,pay attention to diet and make sure he is eating a healthy diet.B vitamins are so important,as are all the rest.Is he getting adequate sleep?Having time for any enjoyment of life?You must find a good medical support system, as well as a friend support system.Get his meds fine tuned first! Good luck
