What should i do when your husband won't take vital medications. is he trying to commit suicide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT SIMPLE: There are many reasons why people avoid medication - fear, stigma, hopelessness, lack of information, etc. You husband needs help to express what is holding him back before he will change his behavior. Psychotherapy may help him be open about this and change.
