Hi, I understood the problem. Your husband can try taking antidepressants like fluoxetine 20mg or escitalopram 10mg. He can get through his depression and can motivate himself to overcome problems arising from vertigo or because of lack of legs. Since these antidepressants are prescription drugs, need to be taken under supervision of a doctor. Wish your husband early recovery and any further queries can write again
