What do I do when my husband is depressed?

The best thing to do I think would be to talk to him and see how you can help. As someone dealing with depression my number one support is my spouse. I go to counseling, but he's with me 24/7 and just being able to talk freely with him helps me the most.

Give him space, no pressure atmosphere, and motivate him to do the things he loves! People who suffer from depression typically are depleted of positive energy to move forward. Keep giving and loving, and the wheel will start turning again!

Try and offer him some support, ask him to talk to you about whats troubling him make him his favorite meal or take him to dinner or watch a funny movie. Its important he doesnt feel alone and he knows he has you to support him. Try to find a hobby you can do with him.

Just be there for him, make him feel like hes not alone. Don't let him face it alone, just be there for him.

Giving him support is the best you can do honestly. Make sure he is taking his medication and trying to no stress him or make things worst for him. Sometimes a hug or just letting the person alone for a little is the best.

Stay by your husband's side, provide him with the support he needs and keep yourself in a healthy mindset too - get professional help and extra assistance to maintain a positive environment

Just be a good wife and start with the little things to soothe him. Depressed people often find it hard to relax. You just need to know you're there for him. If you don't know why he's depressed, don't pry if he doesn't want to talk about it. Instead, just stay there in silence. If he wants to be alone, then stay away, but be within reach still. Husband and wife must always be there for each other no matter the situation. Stand by his side and make him happy. As I said, start with the little things to bring those tiny satisfactions, like breakfast in bed, his favorite meals, do some of his chores. Spoil him if you can..., it's just for the time anyways. Make a few jokes about how he's so going to owe you when he's feeling better. Long answer short, just be there.

Depression affects most people at some point in their lives. First, just try and be supportive. Show kindness and compassion, and encourage him to get involved in some things you know he enjoys. Think if anything has changed recently. Sometimes depression stems from a circumstance or environmental factor. In this case, let him know you're in this together. Try and brainstorm. If he seems beyond your reach, or is talking about self-injury or suicide, or the problem is chronic (persists for more than several months), it is time to get professional medical help.

Reassure him that your still there for him but don't push him to opening up until he's ready ☺ in doing this he will has some type of reassures that you care and respect that he's not ready to share

Stand by his side, do not give him up. Listen to his worries, tell him you're there for him. Reassure him. Look for help. There's therapists that can help couples and individuals.
