Don't know what to do

DH has been depressed for months now but refuses to do anything about it. He gets upset because he doesn't know what to do. I'm at the end of my tether after months of saying I'll go with him to the GP or at least make his appointment but he constantly refuses help. He won't take time off work as he can't let work down. He is leaving me to do almost everything with DC, this morning we all slept in he got up and went to work whilst I had to do the battle of the toddler making me late (which is becoming a frequent occurrence as DC really plays up for me in the morning) Don't get me wrong he still helps around the house with certain chores. He makes himself sick of a morning because he gets so worked up. We've had sex once in 2 and a half years and there is no intimacy. Don't get me wrong at the moment I completely understand the lack of sex but I don't want to be celibate forever.
I just don't know what else to do but I feel I can't go on like this as he's bringing me down and I really don't think its fair on DC to have 2 parents like this.

I would do this in the first instance.

Thanks, I never knew you could do that. I'll call our GP on Monday.
