Hi, I can understand the distress you might be facing due to your husbands problems. Depression can be a very distressing illness not only for the patient but also for people around him, especially for those who are involved in his care. I would suggest you seek a psychiatric consultation for your husband. Current lot of anti-depressants like Escitalopram sertraline, venlafaxine are effective options for depression. They do take time for showing their effect, and you will have to be patient about it. But they will definitely help in controlling depression and will help your husband face life in a more effective way. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
