When a friend or family member suffers from depression, we naturally want to help-but too often our good intentions seem to come out wrong. We can feel guilty, or even angry, about the sheer difficulty in communicating with someone we love so much. This practical, compassionate guide can help you understand exactly what your loved one is going through, and why certain approaches help and others have the potential to do damage. Whether your loved one is receiving professional treatment or not, this guide addresses the vital role you can play in managing the day-to-day ups and downs, and speeding up recovery. By discussing common behaviors and situations, Talking to Depression offers specific advice on what to do and what not to do-what to say and what not to say-to avoid frustration and give the kind of caring, effective support that really makes a difference. "A prescriptive guide for genuine relating with loved ones experiencing depression. It touches the heart of one's inner experience."-Jo Cohen Hamilton, Ph.D.
