Still depressed...

DH is still depressed even though he got the negative reading at Week 4.  I think I understand why.  He doesn't want to get his hopes too far up only to be disappointed as he was after the 1st round of treatment when he relapsed at only 2 months out.  And, besides, it's not like getting the negative reading means the ordeal is over.  Many more weeks to go and no guarantee of success.   Also, I'm sure he wonders if he'll ever be the same.  ALSO...the depression is a side effect of the meds, so no getting around it I guess...even with the anti-depressants.  The reality is that some folks become suicidal on these meds.  DH is not THAT bad...but still it's hard.
