I have to agree with Kathy....I have PTSD, so this is my take on it. NOT everyone with PTSD will attempt suicide. Some make it through the depression just barely, but they make it. With me...The depression side of PTSD is the worse symptom. If I get triggered from one of my major triggers...Forget it, I'm gone. The depression is bad. I have attempted suicide many times. So yes the threat is very real.

I would strongly encourage him to get help...If he won't....... and you really think that he is a danger to himself. Then possibly think of having him sectioned. You can do this through the court system, or through his Dr I believe. Just watch him closely...

Is there anything that he used to be really interested in. maybe trying to get him interested again.

His depression may pass after the anniversary date, so it may be only temporary....

Please be good to yourself too.
