Your once-vibrant family of you, your husband Mike, and eight-year-old son was now a shadow of its former self.

Mike's job loss had had a profound impact on him, leaving him plagued by depression. He stopped taking care of himself, neglecting you and your family's needs.

After dropping off your son at school, you returned home to find Mike in the same spot, unchanged and still watching television.

The house was cloaked in an eerie silence, and the sight of Mike on the couch in the same clothes and unkempt appearance was a far cry from the man you knew. He seemed detached, engulfed by his depression as he stared blankly at the television screen.

You approached him, trying to snap him out of his somber state, but he barely acknowledged your presence, lost in his own world of despair. The once carefree and charming Mike was now a hollow shell, consumed by the weight of unemployment and depression.
