FACE À LA DÉPRESSION

The authors: Dorothea Blum and Matthias Dauenhauer are psychologists with degrees in adult education and lead seminars for parents of people suffering from depression. The book: One in ten French citizens experiences a depressive episode at some point in their lives. Loved ones often feel great uncertainty in their relationships with the person who is ill. How should they behave? How can they avoid mistakes? How can they contribute to their recovery? But it is also about their own situation: could I possibly be "affected"? What if my strength diminishes? Or my patience runs out? What if one of us thinks about suicide out of despair? How can I find meaning in depression? This book aims to provide information, support, and encouragement that prompts reflection. It shows how to avoid an excessive burden and how to find your own personal way of coping with depression and those who suffer from it. Real help for people who live with depressed individuals; for all those who encounter depression in pastoral settings; for those who want to better understand depression.
