During marriage always communicate and when husband is negative. do not react if he is negative, He is only saying bad things to knock your self esteem and is nasty sometimes to make you feel some of how he feels inside. Generally if your suffering depression you dont like yourself and feel awkward in positive situations because you feel like you dont fit in. Being married to someone who suffers depression can be difficult, as a wife you need to be understanding and do not take what they say to seriously when negative, as they dont really mean it. Inside they are feeling pain in the symbol of saddness and hate for themselves. Understand, help and love them inside they are also the person you fell in love with.

You should probably try to talk to him. Show that you're there for him. Try to understand him and don't make assumptions. Give advices to him if you deem it necessary. Make him happy and you both should probably go for a short vacation.

offer your assistance and make sure that he sees to keeping himself (at least physically) healthy. The best thing you can do is to make sure he knows you're there for him.

While empathy and patience are important, it is most important to recognise that many psychological problems are biologically based and medicine may be required to rectify things at a biological level before counselling can be effective. Look into getting him professional help and make sure he knows he has your full support!

Show empathy towards him. Talk to him about it and try to find the source of the problem. In times like this, it is sometimes best to co go have an in-person talk with a psychologist.

The first step is to make sure your husband is getting the treatment he needs for the depression. As for yourself, you must be willing to have a joint agreement. You need to create compatibility by taking each other's feelings into account
