Depression is a common disorder, still surrounded by ignorance, fear and prejudice. About one in ten people suffer it to some significant degree at least once in their lifetime. The risk is twice as high in women as men, and it produces great suffering and disability, to sufferers and those who care about them.
Psychologist, Gwendoline Smith, suffered clinical depression herself and then fully appreciated how difficult it was for loved ones to be supportive and effective.
In Sharing the Load she faces these issues and combines personal experience, clinical information and commonsense advice. Sharing the Load includes how to help those suffering from post-partum and adolescent depression and offers guidance to all those dealing with depression.
