Default Advice for finding a competent psycologist

Hello,
I am new to this site and am hoping for some assistance.
My husband is living with extreme stress/anxiety and I believe depression.
He recently, this past Christmas had open heart surgery which he has recovered physically very well, but it has thrown him into a depression which I can not seem to help him with. The truth is I logged on to find anger management help for him.
My question is this is in mid management government, and privacy is essential.
How do I find a good/suitable psychologist for him to see. Is this something
I should be doing in order to save him time and aggravation?
What kind of questions should I ask?
My husband is very willing to seek help we just don't know where to start.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Let see, The Beck anxiety scale, also recognized as Beck Anxiety Stock (BAI), was designed by Hank Aaron Beck to quantify anxiety in people. Before Beck anxiety scale advanced into practice, present was no other way to distinguish anxiety as of depression.

It is a 21-question many-choice self-report scale that is used to gauge the seriousness of a person's anxiety. A fair pointer of an individual's height of anxiety, the Beck anxiety weighing device can be easily used, with each query coming with four potential answers.

I think you should go to a nearest anxiety specialist and ask him to help you because they are experts and they will help you more than us.

Don't wast time go to hospital.

Thanks
