Living with a Depressed Person
Helpful tips for how you can support your loved one who suffers from depression.
Living with depression can feel like an exhausting uphill battle and the caregivers and loved ones of those with the illness often feel challenged as well. It's important to remember that depression is an illness, and much like we would support and care for a family member with a disease such as cancer, we should offer that same level of care to the person with depression.

This article, written by Kathleen Smith, PhD, LPC provides helpful insight into many feelings caregivers experience as well as gives tips on how you ca support your loved one.
