supporting DH with depression

[killthewiseone]

DH tgreatest yesterday that he's depressed, which didn't really come as a surprise. Whilst I've more than enough experience of being depressed I've never had to support someone who is before. Does anyone have any weeks of wisdom/advice?

I would really recommend reading Tim Topher's book depressive illness: The Curse of the strong. Also good for your dp to read although he might find the audio version easier than the book.
