HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, yes you can visit to ER just for safe side because even if it is functional condition of your husband but it can not be underestimated and better need some test as long as his symptoms are concern, it may be early to say "Depression" hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
