Of the millions of Americans who suffer from a depressive illness, few suffer in solitude. They draw the people they love-spouses, lovers, children, parents, friends-into their illness. In her first award-winning book, How You Can Survive When They're Depressed, Anne Sheffield coined the phrase depression fallout to describe the emotional toll on the depressive's family and close friends, who feel guilty about their reactions and neglect their own needs. In this new book, Sheffield uses the moving material from her website's Message Board, current research in psychiatry and psychology, and her own insights to offer coping strategies for depression fallout sufferers. An expert at weaving together stories and framing them in ways that help readers, Sheffield offers useful, solid information, support, inspiring stories, and a community of peers.
