Answer 2

What qualifies you to diagnose him as depressed?

Everyone needs to deal with their own issues, and on their own time.  

Answer 3

The same thing you do when you're wife is in denial.  You love them, and you go through that journey with them, and remind them that you are not a soul entity you go through things together as one unit, and you feel his saddness and want help understanding it.  If it helps you it helps him, so just keep helping you, and get into counseling and try to get him to come along.  Don't spend any time highlighting his problems consider them things you deal with together, and share them as something that you are feeling an impact from the counselor will pick up on what you are putting down at somepoint, and it should help significanly addressing things in a way that doesn't blame him for being human and having this obstical in front of him.

Answer 4

How did you come about the diagnosis of  'depression?'  Is this your opinion or has he seen a counselor? Have there been any significant changes is his behavior, his attidute or work habits?

Before you make any secific determinations, you should give some more specific details.  

It would be much more helpful if you would give some details before you ask for help.
