I'm really sorry your H is having such a struggle with the depression. As I understand it, medication and cognative therapy together are the best chance of him coming through it. Believe me, I understand his reluctance to take the medication. But there is no nobility in suffering in silence!
It's also true that you can fix it for him. You can be supportive, but don't let him take you down with him. There are lots of books on depression (if he'll read them). He needs to understand that this is not an uncommon thing, and it is a physical thing!! It's NOT his just "in his head". But, remember, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
You are an amazingly strong phenomenal woman!! Hang in there, and remember to take care of YOU!
