I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m allowed in this space but I have no one else to ask.
My husband has been having an increase in mood swings lately. We have been married for 20 years and this is not his norm. He can go from seemingly perfectly normal to irrationally enraged, angry, annoyed in a very short amount of time. It’s starting to affect my kids, they are spending more time in their rooms. It’s also having a negative effect on our marriage.
He is in his late 40s early 50s. Could this be a mental health emergency? I’m concerned it could be depression. Also similarly could this be something I need to bring up to a doctor? I’m severely lacking in experience in dealing this stuff like this and I’m at a loss. I really didn’t know where else to turn.

could be a physical health emergency, much less mental.
Does your husband drink, use drugs or take medication? This the first question worth asking if you’re looking for advice. (IANAD)
