Brief Answer:
As explained below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query. It looks like he is experiencing stress leading to depression due his chronic health problems. I would suggest you to talk to him, encourage him and let him know that you all are there to support as family. You can even start a low dose antidepressant after consulting with his cardiologist or treating doctor.

Also make sure he is eating adequately or having small frequent meals or snacks.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
Regards.
