Effects of depression on relationships

[Daniel E.]

A negative review of the book "Depression Fallout" at Amazon.com:

The book treats the depressed person as the "other". It is not supportive or encouraging. The entire book is about how their depression will hurt you and how their depression will ruin your life. It is all about the non-depressed person "protecting" himself. This book is not at all helpful for a couple or family facing depression together. The book What To Do When Someone You Love Is Depressed: A Practical, Compassionate, and Helpful Guide is much better; much more supportive, and much less scary. I can easily see how this book would freak out a loved one facing a family member's depression.

yes, i saw this review as well. i guess this means to take the website and the book with a grain of salt. i am still looking for information on this subject if anyone happens to come across it.
