My husband's depression is making me depressed.

I've been married to a wonderful man for three and half years. However, over the last year he has become very depressed. He lost a parent, and his extremely depressed about money. The economy has made a huge impact on our income. I've tried convincing him to seek help, but he thinks he can get through it himself. However, he is not getting better. He has become distant, and we never do things together anymore. I am trying to stay positive, but I am starting to become depressed myself. I am lonely and sad. I want us to be back to where we were a year ago. I don't know what to do about my marriage, or what to do about my husband.

There are many effective medications to treat this disease (yes it is a disease!). Try to convince him to see a psychiatrist, he will feel like a new person and so will you! Best of luck!

Your husband definitely needs to get some help. It is also a good idea to get as much information for yourself as well. The more knowledge you have about depression, the better understanding you will have. It will help both you and your husband if you have all the information to help him.
