An elder told my husband he wasnt spiritual enough or didnt rely on Jehovah because he was experiencing depression.

I got the same thing just before I left. I was told to read the bible more and do more field service.

I have personally known two JW over the years who committed suicide from following this advice because they never got professional help.  Who do the elders think they are??  They are not doctors, psychiatrist, psychologist or therapists!  That type of advice is so irresponsible!
