Hello and Thanks for posting your query on Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I had gone through the problem and looked into the details mentioned. It looks like your husband is suffering from chronic daily headaches. In the background of depression possibilities of chronic tension type headache with or without migraines needs consideration. If response to medications is poor other options like botulinium toxin can be tried along with depression medications.
So I personally feel you need to see a Neurologist who is specialized in treating headache disorders and discuss alternate options for his headaches.
Wish you husband a good health.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
Sincerely,
