I read this at the request of a family member and their therapist, in order to better understand how to deal with the person's depression. I was disappointed in the poor writing style - it sounded perhaps like a middle schooler's first draft. Nonetheless, the material itself, while not entirely new to me, was a helpful refresher, and covered a broad range of issues related to depression, all the while offering hope and encouragement to the caregiver. Brain chemistry, heathy habits related to sleep and diet and exercise, how to distinguish various kinds of depression, how to care for yourself as a caregiver - all these and more are addressed in this book. This is a good primer, a good introduction to the subject of how to support someone with depression. I think anyone living with a depressed loved one, or seeking to better understand how to support them, would benefit from this quick read.

Disappointing

Just general information on how to support someone who is depressed while taking care of yourself.
I wanted to know how to talk to someone who is depressed. I did not get any guidance.
