Hi all. Depression takes on many forms, different for everyone. My husband is a counselor and would rather not see one yet he is open to the idea. As caregiver I am seeing a counselor weekly. I cannot put all the burden on my network of friends and I can vent to her totally. That is where I sob. It helps me. My hubby and I talk a great deal but I cannot be his therapist. Uf he seems very depressed I will tell him that he would expect a client to seek help so he should as well. Good luck.
