I suggested individual counseling because his nagging is so nonsensical that it is clear to be a neurosis, which is the symptom of something greater, just as his anger is symptom to something that Paxil is able to control. However, he needs something different or in addition to Paxil. A marriage counselor (who is normally just a therapist, not a doctor) can neither diagnose nor treat that problem.
