How can I talk to my husband about his depression?

Answer by  Doris59 (1647)

Depression is a very sensitive subject with people who suffer with it. It is even more touchy when you are talking with your husband. You could consult a professional and get advice, or read up. The biggest thing to remember it is important to come from a place of compassion and understanding to be of help.

You can't you can just be supportive. He needs medical help and you would help him get it. I have lived with a person with depression and its a long hard road. Try and get him to go for walks with you. He might eventually open up.

You just need to come out and talk about it. Get him on some antidepressants and he will start to come back around and be back to his old self.

You need to sit him down and calmly tell him that you are suffering from depression and that you would like his support and love while you are going through your depression stages. You should ask him if he has the patience to deal with you as you are coping with this condition as well.
