That said, a threat isnt likely to work.
I will suggest the couple counseling & hope he agrees to go. I can't afford to lose my sanity from built up anger. Sure, I too need a psychologist. I think I'm becoming depressed too. From dealing with a spouse with psychosis from drug addiction, forced hospitalization and now depression. When is it all going to end?
Is it possible for someone to be in depression and be in denial about it?

I'd like to add something, I think I would approach him, tenderly, and ask him if he'd like to feel joy in his life. He's gotta know he is missing joy. Life is hard, very hard, but there are still parts of it that are gratifying and pleasurable. Tell him you want to experience "his" joy, again.
When I was depressed I pretended that I wasn't but I still longed for it. I knew I wasn't "happy", I tolerated life. After 4 months I had a break through. BTW, no medication, I just trusted in the Lord to walk me through the storm. One day I felt an easing of darkness, a bit of light peaked through. It wasn't "huge" it was a peak, an easing. Then more time passed and the darkness faded more and more. It has been 2 years and I am so much better. Work helped keep my mind off of my worries, maybe he can start a project, something challenging but not overwhelming. Gardening would probably be gratifying.
I'll pray for ya'll.
