Posting on behalf of my wife.

She was mentally abused much of her life, from her mother. 

As a result, she has trouble expressing emotions, because expressing ANY emotion in her household was "bad". Her mother was bi-polar which might explain her disdain for emotions.

The issue is that while she was on Wellbutrin for several years, and it helped her depression, it was very "emotionally blunting".

Which if someone already has issues with emotions, throwing a wet towel on them won't help either.

Is there a depression med that helps depression without as heavy of effect on emotions? 

Thanks
