When Someone You Love Is
Depressed: How to Help Your Loved One Without
Losing Yourself by Laura
Epstein Rosen,
Those unfortunate souls who suffer from
clinical depression experience extended periods
of bleakness so intense it can render them
unable to function. But other victims of this
disease include the spouses, families, and
friends of the depressed, and it is for them
that psychologists Rosen and Amador have written
this hopeful and empowering guide. When a loved
one is afflicted with depression, it is not
uncommon for those around them to feel anger,
frustration, and despair. Physical ailments are
common, too. After showing how to recognize
depression in someone else, the authors discuss
ways for friends and family to safeguard their
own mental and physical health while aiding the
depressed person. One key is to appreciate the
inevitable communication problems between
depressed people and others and to then work
through this difficulty. Throughout, the message
is that self-education leads to positive change.
