My husband is a police detective, and in the last three months, he has been involved in investigating three brutal murders. The things he sees and deals with all day long are gruesome and cruel and I have noticed some changes in him lately. What are some of the symptoms that I should watch out for if I believe he may be suffering from PTSD? 

I have been considering placing my unborn child for adoption, but I am wondering if it is the best thing for my child. I am afraid that he will think that I didn't want him. 

My spouse is addicted to prescription medication. His personality has changing. I don't know what to do or say to him. I am afraid he is going to lose his job. Is there something I can do to help him? 

What are the causes of depression? I am worried about my brother, who seems to be down and out. And frankly I don't understand how we both grew up in the same home but both feel so very differently about our lives. 

My husband and I have been married about a year. I came to the marriage with three kids; he has one. At family holidays and events, his mother and sister invite him, his ex-wife and son but do not invite me and my kids. My husband goes because he wants his son to have a relationship with his family and their attitude is she's the mother of their grandchild/nephew and I'm not. I thought this situation would get better over time but so far I just feel rejected and frustrated. What should I do? 

I love my husband…but I don’t know if I am in love with him. He is not an easy man to live with, he has a temper and it’s hard for him to think about my needs. But I think I maybe the problem as well. I don’t really feel anything these days. Nothing makes me happy, so I don’t think it’s all him. What should I do? 

My dad is in his late 70s. After a recent heart stent, he became depressed and says he feels like he is drowning. He says he has never relied on anyone for anything and cannot cope with being "needy." He is not an invalid by any means, just shakier and less steady on his feet. He is a retired professional. In addition to spending time with him myself, what can I do to help him feel valuable and independent over the remainder of his life? 

My father passed away more than 20 years ago, and my mother has never remarried. She was never serious about trying to remarry, and only had one serious relationship after my father's death. Now that her children are married and gone, I worry that her loneliness in aging is causing a depression. She makes comments that worry me and my family, like how she has nothing left to look forward to. How can I help my mother find purpose again, and how can I encourage her to get help if she needs it?
