Patience is a very important quality to display I agree. If you are not patient as the spouse of someone that is depressed, you might not help them in an effective way.

You have to remove blame 100% when it comes to dealing with someone who's battling with depression even if they made a mistake. It's the only way to stop them from thinking about suicide.

Anyone who is depressed needs a lot of attention because they can't really be able to do most things on their own as a result of their state of being depressed. So, you have to show enough attention to that person, it helps a lot.

Show them more attention, love and care. They will love to hide their emotions so that no body will blame them for what they are passing through, give them the assurance that they are free to talk to you, that's how you gain their trust.
