Major Depressive Disorder. Lexapro (escitalopram) is indicated for the acute and maintenance treatment of major depressive disorder in adults and in adolescents 12 to 17 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].
The most common causes of controlling behavior in a spouse are the result of modeling after a controlling parent or of a narcissistic personality. Another reason is a stressful and traumatic childhood and adolescence as a result of having an addicted, extremely angry or narcissistic parent.
A desire to control can be masked in the idea that your controlling attitudes and behaviors are, in fact, really a sign of love and caring for the other person: âI only say these things to you... ...because I love you as much as I do (and so you need to change and do what I want for you),â.
