Please encourage he/she to get professional help and you may want to consider talking to a professional yourself. When a partner is depressed, it definitely takes its toll on the other. Unfortunately, as you probably already know, you can't snap someone out of their depression. I've found that you have to be responsible for your own happiness and that happiness is a choice. While it's admirable that you are trying to help, there's very little you can do and it all comes at a very high emotional cost. Best of luck.
