How does a wife respond with love to a depressed husband? How do you maintain your own mental health? Drawing from the author's own experience, Living With A Depressed Spouse offers hope and solid help for others.
Like a voice crying in the wilderness, the author shares her hard-earned knowledge about living with a depressed husband. She gives the reader insight into this debilitating disease that affects an estimated 18.8 million people who struggle with it in any given one-year period.
Mental illness is the second leading cause of disability in the U.S. But mental illness affects not only the individual but everyone striving for a relationship with that individual.
In an effort to assist others who find themselves in a similar situation, Living With A Depressed Spouse brings words of hope and concrete recommendations to all involved, enabling them to live healthier, more loving lives.
Excerpt
"It's hard to acknowledge the all-out war being waged inside. It's hand-to-hand guerila warfare between my intellect and my emotions. To complicate matters, both parties have ambivalent positions--like debaters that keep changing sides. And I'm afraid to put the plus and minuses down in black and white. Thirty-nine years is a lot of life to untangle. It's the why that keeps me on the see-saw. Maybe if I can manage to set down all this confusion on paper, I'll be able to discert the lighthouse in the midst of the fog I find myself in."
