Hi @Animallover123
I can hear how worrying and stressful these past three weeks have been for you. It is such a difficult position to be in when your loved one won't accept help in times when it's clear that they need it most.
His behaviour, as well as his thoughts of his cousin who died by suicide must be very concerning. When this conversation came up, did you ask if he was having any thoughts of suicide himself? If you believe that he is at risk of harming himself, I encourage you to reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Suicide callback service on 1300 659 467, or if you feel there is immediate danger call 000.
In regards to calling his psychiatrist, it would likely be beneficial for them to be aware of your husband's current condition, though due to patient confidentiality they may be unable to discuss much more without consent from your husband.
For more options to gain guidance and support, you can call the SANE helpline on 1800 187 263 (Mon-Fri 10am-8pm)
Or your state's mental health triage service
