Hi. I am new to the site and was wondering if I could get some advice because medical professionals have let me down so I am turning here.

My husband had a nervous breakdown a few months ago. It started out by him being withdrawn and hypersensitive about what others were saying about him. He was finishing up his degree and trying to get a job, but in the end couldnt find anything. He has always been quiet and introspective so I thought that this change in him was because of the stress of looking for a job.

He thought that he was being offered a job, but the way he was talking about it I thought that he was confused or being misled. Then suddenly one day he became very delusional and was convinced I was cheating on him. I found out that there was no job and that he had been imagining it. I took him to the hospital and he was admitted for three days and then he requested to leave and he did, but he was still confused about reality. They gave him antipsychotics which he is still taking, but there was no follow up because his insurance would not pay for outpatient therapy only inpatient.

In the beginning his insurance (through a university) said they were going to pay for outpatient therapy through a hospital, but then after three weeks of me trying to get things in place with them they decided not to pay. He recovered after one long month and he now knows that the things he used to believe as true never happened.

He found a temporary job, but is still loooking for something permanent. He is no longer delusional, but it is difficult to have a conversation with him because he is so preoccupied with his own thoughts. He says he is thinking about work and about finding a job.

I dont know what to do at this point. He has good health insurance now, but does not want to see a psychiatrist or therapist because he doesnt trust/ feel comfortable with them and I dont know if I blame him for everything we went through with his university health insurance and the university mental health department. At the same time I really dont know what to do now. I dont know if this will all just be better once he gets a job.

I think he was depressed and that is why he had a break with reality, but I dont know. If anyone has any suggestions or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.
