Hi and welcome to AMHD

Im sorry to hear that your boyfriend was prescribed anti-depressants. Most of us who were never depressed don't understand why we need them.

Ive seen loved ones on anti depressants.
Sometimes people need them. What you can do, is try make him smile, try make him realise that everything will be fine in the long run, and also keep an eye out to make sure he is takin them only when he needs to and don't let him become dependant on them.

What were the circumstances before when he was on them and how come he needs them again now?
