i think my fiance has depression

i think my fiance has depression....?
my fiance broke up with me 4 days ago, he said our arguement during the last few days was only part of it, but also he was fed up of life, himself, me..im starting to think he may be suffering from depression due to being let down by job prospects abroad : refused jobs in qatar 2 times and waiting for job in italy for over 2.5 years. he is a qualified nurse in Tunisia which pays low so he cant afford to save for us to get engaged or married at the moment. he is also working 2 jobs in hospital&airport to save a bit. but i want to know if ppl wud say he sounds like his suffering from depression, if so what shud i do? i sent him a sms 2 b supportive a few mins ago, but im worried he will isolate himself more unless i do more to fix our relationship..plz help. thx

give him space - that's all you can do. tell him to quit sugar and keep hydrated those two things cause depression fast.
2 :
Offer him help as a friend. Be encouraging and understanding but dont try to get him back. Let him decide that since he is the one that broke up with you. Find him some self help articles and register him on employment websites, also help with applications. However I am concerned about the way he handles difficult situations, shunning you shouldnt have been an option. What if you get married and one day he does that again??
3 :
honestly is very easy for a guy to become depress see the current women mentality PS especially here in US
4 :
Avoid the temptation of trying to diagnose him with depression or any other behavioral disorder. You're not qualified to do that. This is the time when you should have your eyes wide open in your relationship. Take a good look at this man. Observe how he deals with disappointment and setbacks in life, and then connect the dots. This is how he will be when you are married to him. There are lots of challenges in a marriage, and there will be plenty of things that won't go his way. You can expect him to bail out on you whenever the going gets tough.
