I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to go to but I don't know where else to go. My spouse has struggled with severe depression his whole life. It is genetic, his dad was the same. Any amount of pressure makes him worse. He constantly feels as though life is not worth living and he's a lost cause, he will never feel okay and just wants the pain to go away. We have a baby coming any day now and I was worried that pressure was gonna send him over the edge. We have been talking about having him voluntarily go to a psych ward and see if they can help, kinda as a last ditch effort before I just give him permission to end it.. 

Today he talked to his counselor about going to one in a few weeks after the baby was here, and they came and picked him up an hour later. He is pissed, doesn't Want to be there, which I understand Is normal. He feels completely betrayed by his councellor and never wants to go back. I'm worried that now he is going to pretend like he is fine just to get out. The point of this is to get help why won't he just take it? I'm scared the mental hospital won't help at all. I just need you guys who have been there before to be honest with me. Did it help? What things helped and what made it worse? If it does help or when he comes back home, what are some things I can do to continue the healing process, or just make his life easier? Anything else you feel to share please do. I hate not knowing things and this is really killing me right now
