jen, you might like to go to the archives and read a long thread on this topic. (Just dont' bring the thread forward--some people here get miffed about that).
I also think you will get very different responses from different people.I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist, finding a medication that works, and getting back to work as soon as possible. Staying out of work might be necessary, but how will the time be spent? I know from experience that lying around can make it worse. Is your husband in therapy? It might really help. Perhaps some intensive work in therapy while he is out of work. This would also give the meds time to kick in.
As for whether to tell the boss more, I don't know how to advise you. It's a tough question. BTW, BOB (not DR.) will no doubt have lots to say on all of this.
