Does he have a close friend that could help you convince him to get professional help? I know it's not ideal but if it's severe, getting help from an expert could be a important. Is your husband religious? If he is, instead of getting counsel from a medical professional, he could talk to a religious leader that he is comfortable with. My friend went through a bout of depression after losing her baby and she sought support and counsel from her church; it helped alot.
