Synopsis

Depression is one of the largest ticking time bombs in 21st century healthcare. What starts off as anxiety or stress - when left unresolved - can easily develop into clinical depression, a term encountered far more often today than at any other point in the history of human civilization. Approximately 1 in 10 Americans face depression in their lives at one point or another, and 80% of these individuals don't receive any help for it. Moreover, the number of “depression” diagnoses increase by roughly 20% each year. The true horror of depression lies in its ability to not only torment its victims, but also the people around them. It's important to keep in mind though that those who suffer from depression can't just “snap out of it.” So rather than pushing your friend or loved one to "cheer up" or drag themselves out of this mindset, it's crucial that you learn how to support them in a way that will actually work. The purpose of this guidebook is to help you better understand what your loved one is actually going through, and teach you how to support them and get them on the path to recovery.
