Hi,Thanks for writing to us, Caring for a person with a chronic illness like Parkinson's disease itself is a very stressful event in a person's life. Coping is not very simple. A few manage doing  so themselves but many require professional help. The presence of depression  has to be ruled out by a psychiatric evaluation since it is commonly seen. If your symptoms are at a syndromal level (as judged by the psychiatrist) you may need medications, else you can benefit with psychotherapies like cognitive behavior therapy, relaxation techniques etc. I urge you to see a psychiatrist at the earliest. Also, revisit the psychiatrist who is treating your husband regarding the anger outbursts that he is suffering from. It may be difficult to treat but there are alternatives that can be tried. Hope this helps,Dr A Rao Kavoor
