What Family and Friends Can Do to Help Someone Who is Depressed:
Most communities have a local chapter of the National Depressive and Manic-Depressive Illness support group. To find out what's available in your community, call your local Mental Health Association or local self-help clearinghouse. Or call the National Self-Help Clearinghouse at 1-212-354-8525. Don't be surprised or discouraged if there are some setbacks. There'll be good days and bad days in the recovery from depression just as there are in recovery from any other serious illness.
