I agree with leacon, try not to guess what he will do ahead of time. It is hard to know.
Do know that you are doing the right thing talking to him. The way I see it no matter what he chooses, you will be relieved of the pressures of hiding all this from him, and honestly for the relationship to work in the long run you'll need to tell him so the sooner the better 
My advice in telling him...
be upfront and honest about it. I was freaked out when I told my boyfriend what had been going on with me. It took me a while to be able to even say the basic word depression. But I did. The best way is to explain why you wanted to tell him, what it is, and then maybe ask him how he feels.
If he hasn't had depression before, make sure that he can read up on it from a good place or that you can explain it to him, if he asks. Take it step by step - I dunno about you but even experiencing depression I've learne bit by bit, not all at once and it would be a lot to take in all at once =D
Wishing you the best of luck and hope this helps somehow
