DEPRESSION IS A VERY CONTROLLING ILLNESS
It is extremely important to get medical help, so a proper assessment can be made.
With the correct medication, therapy and self help, it is possible to recover.
It is also important that family and friends emotionally support the person with the illness.
Without continuing, loving support – recovery is not always possible.
Here are some things you should and should not do to help your loved one.
