Your husband would benefit from being in a group of people who have depression. I joined one and it changed my life.
He needs a psychiatrist and a therapist. Psychiatrists are good for medication but therapists are good for talk, which he desperately needs. And you need a group too, to help you cope.

@dollyjaneprenzel I agree that a group would be great for my husband. He did a group in 2019. It was what has been the most successful. Unfortunately the group was for only 8 weeks and when it ended he slowly slid right back. I've mentioned things I've heard or read about on this site and other places. He mentioned he was looking into something a month ago but he hasn't brought it up since.
Coping for me has taken a while. I would love to find a group but haven't found anything that fits even though I live in a large metropolitan area. I've tried NAMI and the VA. If you have any suggestions I'll gladly take them.
Fortunately reading others experiences on this site has given me insight and been quite helpful in my own coping, giving me other perspectives.
