Understand The Sufferer

The depressed mind is fragmented and often times misinterprets conversations and believes certain thoughts to be true. The depressed mind becomes more rational when the symptoms of depression subside and clearer thinking prevails. If you know someone who suffers from depression, his or her condition can begin to take a toll on you. Do not take their lack of progress personally. Try to understand the perspective of the sufferer, they are trying hard to break free.
