Thank you, Curious.
I had a feeling it maybe depression. This does run in his family. Two of his younger brothers are on some kind of SSRI, and my sisters were kind enough to have inherit this trait. I've been luckily spared although the PD has gotten me down.
Now to get him to a doctor... That's a whole new bag of worms, I mean more like snakes to deal with.
