You help him. Try and understand how he is feeling, and try to understand how depression works. He cant help feeling that way, but he can improve it by getting medical help. I know alot of people are scared of anti depressants, but i take them and they changed everything for me.

Depression can be very challenging for the struggling individual as well as everyone around them. Is there anything specifically that you can think of that he might enjoy? I'd like to suggest spending additional time with your husband, whenever possible to help him understand that he's not alone and is loved.

Read about depression, try and understand it better, and don't try to give advice. Having had a depression for four years now, there are things I truly value and things I truly hate about my mom's behaviour - I value the little things; getting a hug, when I reach out. When she fetches me something to drink or eat if I don't have the energy to get it myself. Remember that: you don't know what he's going through, but tell him that you want to be there and help him help himself. Ease his burden any way possible, and try to not get upset, offended or angry if he's in a bad mood, because he can't help it.

Try talking to him about how he feels or find him a therapist for him. Make sure you support him and are there for him.

All you can do is support him, if he has depression. It's not a visible thing for most people, but when it is, it's not just the person being affected, it's the others too.

Lend a helping hand. If your husband is sad, you're there to raise him. Have a good talk about it. :)

The best thing to do is learn why he feels the way he does and bring positivity to the situation :)

Firstly try to communicate with him don't force him to cheer up rather ask him about his condition and then try to contact your health care provider for further help.

Show him that your love is unconditional no matter what. That you will stick with him, there is no pulling him out of depression. You have to show him the lights at the end of the tunnel
