My husband is depressed.

I feel like I'm walking on egg shells trying to make him happy. Can I still ask him to do the dishes? Help me with the kids?

Edit.

I've always struggled with anxiety and have cured myself by running so he wants to try running for a few weeks with me before getting medical intervention like medication and counseling. He is awful at expressing his feelings so he isnt wanting to see a doctor just yet. Thank you everyone for your advice I really appreciate it and am feeling more comfortable.
