Depression: Urge him to seek psychotherapy. You cannot be his psychotherapist, only his wife. Lastly, he has to want treatment' you cannot force him to seek it.

Support: It can be extremely difficult to see your loved one experience depression. Especially when you can recall so easily what he was like when he was his "normal". Your support, love and understanding is important in your husband confiding in you regarding his internal struggles. Provide him a safe, non-judgemental environment at home, and let him know of your concerns. Help get him to a professional.
