Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Sometime, due to chronic illness, patients get depressive symptoms. Same thing may be in your husband case. If he has seizure for last 15 years, you have to take antiepileptic drugs regularly and if he would not take them, these episode would become part of his life. You can consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment plan for depression. He needs antidepressants and that he would get after prescription. In case, he needs further help, you can ask.

Thanks
