What do I do when my husband is depressed?

This is tricky because you should be supportive but you also need to help lead him in the right direction. Make sure he knows your there for him and ask if he wants to talk about it but if he doesn't try to get his mind off it. Be careful though, you don't want him thinking you don't care.

Be there to support him as much as you can. Love him show him effecting and that he's wanted and loved.

I will take care of him a little more and support him the way he wants to by trying to understand his reason for getting depressed.

Support him, show him that you're there for him, and encourage him to seek professional help if needed. Make sure he sees your smile. I'm pretty sure it'll mean a lot to him.

Always support him, and try to help him seek help. Many people struggle with admitting that they need help. So stay true to your vows and be his strength. Your relationship will flourish

Depression can almost always be helped. The treatment approaches that have been shown to be most effective in reducing depression include cognitive restructuring, medication, improving interpersonal relationships, and activity scheduling.

You can support him by simply listening to him and be there for him. You don't have to find all the answers to his problem, just be there and be patient ;) You can help him to find help like a doctor or a psychologist if he is very unhappy.

Depression is never easy to deal with. And in your case it hurts and stresses you out since you don't want to see them that way. This is important. It gives the sense that they are not alone. The easiest way I can see you helping him is to know when to ask him to talk about it, and when to give him a bit of space. You are married, so I think you know which option to chose when. Let him with subtle, or other, hints that you are there, but also that you understand that he might need some breathing room from time to time. If you can, talk it out and seek therapy where necessary. DIfferent people handle it in different ways.

Talk to him about what he is feeling try to express sympathy it would be helpful to talk to him about going to therapy with him.

Number 1: Do not blame yourself! You are not the cause of his depression. If he states that something you are doing is a trigger for those feelings, then work together to make a logical compromise. Try and remember what causes positive days and do more of those things. On bad days, let him know you're there to listen or to just be. Give honest compliments when he says something negative about himself. Don't just say, no you're great, if you don't mean it.
