When a Loved One Is Depressed

Take Time Out
Don't feel guilty about spending time away. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Don't let the depressed person monopolize your time. Spend time with other family members or your friends, or go out alone.
Keep a positive attitude. Don't let yourself be influenced by the person's negative thinking.
It can be frustrating if your advice or help isn't accepted, but try not to get angry. Understand that depression clouds judgment.
Consider joining a support or therapy group. Counseling can often help family and friends better cope with a loved one's depression. Children, in particular, may benefit from counseling.
Don't feel responsible for solving the problem yourself. You can't. Do what you can, and feel good about your efforts.

"I spend some time each day with other family members. The time away helps me regain my perspective."
