Treatment for depression has come a long way, but often left out of the equation are the devastating effects depression can have on a marriage. The feelings of alienation, guilt and anger can be overwhelming. Authors Amy Viets and Bernadette Stankard have both lived with a depressed spouse, and they offer this book as a source of support for the pain that spouses may feel as they watch their loved ones struggle with depression. In addition to drawing from their own experiences, they have used examples from other people who have first-hand knowledge of depression in a spouse to address issues such as: getting help for your spouse and yourself, explaining your spouse's illness to others, being forced to make all the family decisions, dealing with job and income loss, letting go of your guilt and anger, and losing faith in God.
