her parents are against any medical report and hence any treatment ?

Once you two were married her parents lost all legal power over her, even if she is a minor. It is your responsibility to your wife to act in her best interests. If that means treatment for mental problems, that is what it means.

What a tough place to be in. My mother has been through all of this since I could remember and I will confess that it is not easy for anyone, not just the person who is going through the Depression. If she is your wife legally then you should be able to make a lot of the calls, unless your wife does not have you down as someone that the Doctors can speak to. Does your wife know that help is needed? If so would she cooperate?
Depression is like a drug, denial that you have a problem is the biggest obstacle and then afterwards getting the needed treatment is never ending and it must be done continuously. You being her husband you are the biggest support beam and all of this will be tough on you; so don't give up your wife needs you more than she probably thinks.
Start by discussing this with your wife, then get her treatment through trusted and credited doctors (not just pill popping docs), She should then start counseling...this will only work if she wants it to work. This is the best I could think of, I don't know your full situation but i truly feel for you. Life is not an easy road, but when depression hinders over it life is unbearable. Take care & best of luck!

well lets see here.....you are her husband, which means that ou are the one to make decisions such as this. I would think that her life would be more important than what her parents are against. Sounds to me that the parents do not want to be embarrassed.....and it is very possible that your wife has a history of problems such as this. But no matter what the parents think......she is your wife and she needs help. If the parents do not support getting help for her....then they have some sort of problem....they sure don't love their daughter like they should.

She is probably suicidal because obviously her parents have neglected her all her life....because that is what refusing to seek medical treatment for your child is...NEGLECT! Now that you are married, you should take over her medical care. Get her to a dr. and get the poor woman the treatment she needs.

If your wife & you live together under the same roof, & she is of legal age, her parents can't stop her from getting the help she desperately needs to have. I can't imagine any parents not wanting their child to get help, no matter what age he/she may be. Get help for her if she's of legal age & do it today. Start by calling a doctor & he can put her on meds & refer her to a palce to go for further help. Good luck!!!

You have the right to put her in a facility that can help her because you're her spouse. Who cares about what her parents are against. You need to help your wife.

Buy a big insurance policy with no suicide restrictions. Then if you are her husband tell the family to bugger off and get her help. If she refuses, at least with insurance you can have a great time when she finally checks herself out.

What do her parents have to do with this? She is your wife, you are the one responsible for her, and you need to stand up to them, and tell them that unless they can prove you are not able to provide and take care of her, they need to mind their own business. As for you, grow a pair so you can take care of your wife. She needs you and she needs help.

I'm sorry but she needs professional help right now. I'd get her to the nearest outpatient or inpatient facility available. What is better, her parents approval or her life? Ask them that when you bring her in.
