It can be tough watching someone you love struggling with depression, with no idea how best to help. Depression can be mild, or so all-consuming that the person you love is hardly recognisable. It can come in bouts, or span a significant period of time, which can take its toll on those closest to the sufferer.
In this accessible guide, clinical psychologist Dr Emma Cotterill gives you a clear understanding of the nature of depression, likely causes & practical ways you can help someone experiencing depression – however severe. She draws on the experiences of both sufferers & their supporters to help you feel a little less alone in this difficult time. She also shows you the importance of looking after yourself, & how to seek outside help.
Throughout the book you will develop your own 'supporter's toolkit' of knowledge, understanding, skills, strategies, self-care & resources that will help you support your loved one as best you can, whilst maintaining your own self care & boundaries.
