See all 31 therapists Questions we share Shared questions and professional perspectives for everyone. How can I encourage my husband to take more responsibility? A reader wants to share household decisions and finances with a husband who struggles with responsibility and receives treatment for panic disorder. Encouragement often feels controlling to him, and further couples therapy is currently unaffordable. Can we involuntarily admit a family member in a crisis? A family describes a father making explicit violent threats with a weapon and later denying the incident. They ask how to obtain urgent help when he is unlikely to consent to treatment. Why do I feel like I’m wasting my life? An 18-year-old college student has stopped attending classes and exercising after losing motivation. Friends and games provide temporary relief, but he feels directionless and worries he is wasting his life. A little closer to home. Explore places, activities, and support around Columbus, OH.
