How can I convince my wife to go back on anti-depressants?!
Question: Talk with her.... but try not to push the idea to much, she needs to want to take them again. Reassure her that she is not different in any way and that there are many many people who take anti-depressants for a range of reasons (probably more then she thinks). Get her to see them as more of a pick me up then a drug. Just something to make the day little bit easier, but they are definately nothing to be ashamed of.

go for a drive and talk it out
ask her if she feels the same or different and maybe suggest getting help again
it may only be hormones!
you shouldn't try to convince anyone to take anti-depressants, i was 15 when i was prescribed them by my doctor, i over dosed on them and it was the worst felling in the world, i felt like i was going to die there all alone, anyway it is a very unhealthy way of dealing with problems just my opinion, the best thing i can suggest for you.. is to be there for your wife and try to talk to her about what she is feeling, remember to be understanding.
I don't personally have any experience on depression but you really need to emphasize on the fact that it is having a major down fall on her life & nobody deserves to live a life depressed. Truly express your feelings to her, especially if you have children, it can also place the children into a state of sadness with them seeing their mother depressed. Maybe print out interesting articles that support your decision to indicate you aren't the only one that suggests people going on anti-depressants. ..Hope it was helpful & best of luck with everything.
