Description
While intended primarily as a guide to recovery for anyone who is
experiencing depression, this book is also written with the
relatives and friends of that person in mind, hoping they can make
sense of what can be a difficult experience to grasp from the
'outside'. Understanding the journey through depression by
all who are affected can act as a bridge between people who
feel isolated by depression and those who care about them.
