Depressed partner

I don’t know what to do, my partner has suffered with depression for some time but has managed to keep it under control but since our 6 month baby has been born he has let it get too much. On 4 occasions now He’s told me he going to work and then evening comes when he said he’ll be back but nothing so I call and he sounds very slurred but lies and promises nothing is wrong just working late then il get a text saying sorry he lied he’s been drinking and is at a hotel because he can’t face coming home, saying he’s weak and hates himself. When he’s fine he’s the best dad and so helpful but this isn’t healthy for any of us to go through. He said he’s going to get help but each time finds an excuse not to. Iv had enough I can’t let my baby grow up thinking this is normal.

Does he actually have a diagnosis of depression from the GP or does he say he's depressed if he wants to get out of doing something?

Yeh he’s been diagnosed they have tried to help him but he would say he doesn’t need it he feels fine now but obviously he’s not.
