Mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder can be
devastating to the person who has the disorder and to his or her
family. Depression and bipolar disorder affect every aspect of how
a person functions, including their thoughts, feelings, actions,
and relationships with other people. Family members and close
friends are often the first to recognize the subtle changes and
symptoms of depression. They are also the ones who provide daily
support to their relative or friend, often at great personal cost.
They need to know what to say or do to cope with the person's
impaired thinking and fluctuating moods. In When Someone You Know
Has Depression, Dr. Susan J. Noonan draws on first-hand experience
of the illness and evidence-based medical information. As a
physician she has treated, supported, and educated those living
with-and those caring for-a person who has a mood disorder. She
also has lived through the depths of her own mood disorder. Here,
she has written a concise and practical guide to caring for someone
who has depression or bipolar disorder. This compassionate book
offers specific suggestions for what to say, how to encourage, and
how to act around a loved one-as well as when to back off. Dr.
Noonan describes effective communication strategies to use during
episodes of depression and offers essential advice for finding
appropriate professional help. She also explains how to reinforce
progress made in therapy, how to model resilience skills, and how
caregivers can and must care for themselves. Featuring tables and
worksheets that convey information in an accessible way, as well as
references, resources, and a glossary, this companion volume to Dr.
Noonan's patient-oriented Managing Your Depression is an invaluable
handbook for readers navigating and working to improve the
depression of someone close to them.
