How to help someone that is depressed?

My husband recently got demoted and had to take a pay cut. He is taking it very hard. He thinks he is worthless and can't do anything right. Also that everytime something good happens something happens to make it miserable again. Please HELP! 😢

problem is, most of us men value our self worth with what we do in life for work 1st and second how we are as husbands/fathers. When they get out of Whack it brings our world apart. There is nothing you can do for him. This is something he is just going to have to workout in his own head. My only advice is to treat him the same as you always have and DON"T patronize him. That's be much worse.
