5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one "depression" book - make it this one., 7 Jun 2003
By A Customer
The problem with all the advice that you are given as the partner/child/parent/friend of a depressed person is always "be caring understanding and supportive". What no-one ever said to me before I read this book is that it's really hard to do those things when you're not getting them back in return. It was so wonderful to hear out loud that, yes, depressed people are selfish and self-centred and difficult to live with. As well as offering a truely helpful insight into the depressive's situation, this book validates all your feelings of frustration and resentment and tells you how to cope with them and look after yourself. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to survive when they're depressed, 26 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Invaluable support
I read this when my partner was experiencing a particularly low depressive episode, and I was begining to doubt that I could cope. I felt isolated, insecure, and as though I had lost the person I loved the most in the world. Reading this book helped me in so many ways: to understand more of what he was experiencing, the effect this was having on me, the effect this was having on our relationship and how I shouldn't take his depression personally. It helped me realise that to continue to help support him, I needed to support and look after myself more. The book provided me with some of that much-needed support. Well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction, 19 Sep 2003
By A Customer
I'm returning today buy my third copy of this book, having given the previous two I owned away.
It's a useful and practical introduction to living with friends and family who may be difficult to understand in their depression; it looks at all the various relationships: being a parent, child or partner etc of someone who is depressed. In addition to covering types of depression, and how these might appear in and affect each type of relationship, the book also gives brief information on medication, and underlines the simultaneous need for talking therapy.
This is a great place to start in a discovery of how to help yourself as well as those you love.
