It's a big advantage for depressed people to have someone around to observe our behavior. You usually can't see it yourself.
When you've brought this up before, what was his reaction? Would he be agreeable to you going to his doctor with him to give your perspective?

I would say that, if he can't up the Effexor, to think about augmenting or switching. He needs to get to a therapeutic dose on something because everything you've said indicates his depression has worsened. What you describe is depression. Not effects of the med. Meds are supposed to get you back on your feet and out the door.
He's being undertreated. If he's seeing a GP, he needs to dump them and see a psychiatrist. If he's seeing a psychiatrist, he needs to find a new one.
