The sad truth is that depression robs a person of his or her best self. A depressed person can be irritable, unsociable, and generally suck the joy out of the room. A person who has no skin howls in pain at the slightest touch; it's the same with depression and even the most neutral comments from others.

So... people will withdraw from a depressed person UNLESS they are told, in practical terms, about the depression itself, as well as what to expect and how they can help. I recommend having one's doctor talk to family members and friends so that they will be accepting and understanding of the patient. I also recommend that family and friends read something about depression: a guide and perhaps William Styron's "Darkness Visible."

Frequently, depressed patients get better and then find, much to their surprise, that they have wrecked many of their relationships. This can be mitigated by educating family and friends and encouraging them to offer help and solace to a depressed person. Often, all it takes is a phone call in the morning, or an afternoon drive on a Saturday.

I had depression a few years back and the worst thing about it, aside from the illness itself, was losing friends and family. It was very sad and I often resent them for not reaching out when they could have. It changed the way I see other people and made me value those who stuck by me all the more.

If you are the depressed person, ask your doctor to have a consult with your family and friends and also ask for brochures and other educational materials. If this is done early on, it can save your relationships, at least the ones worth saving.

My own experience



depression is a state of mind;The enemy(devil) is the master mind of confusion he can make you believe you are worthless feeding into your body and soul on a daily basis until you have no desire for life. well how do you break free you ask; you have to ask Jesus into your life for its His word and His word alone that can break the spell ,Jesus says in the Bible that He came here to Earth to give a sword a weapon unlike no other that exists and the Power behind it well you will have to find it by just asking for it ;Its so easy trust the Lord and believe.I believe we can over come a negative with a positive.
