Product Description
What happens to love when a partner is depressed?
Is your partner’s depression undermining your happiness as a couple? After blaming yourself, losing your self-esteem, and getting angry, you may feel like walking away — even if you’re still in love.
With 19 million Americans suffering from depression, you are not alone in your unhappiness. And no one knows what you’re going through better than Anne Sheffield, who coined the phrase “depression fallout” in her first book, How You Can Survive When They’re Depressed, to describe the emotional toll of depression on spouses, parents, lovers, and children.Sharing essential information, compassion, and street-smart advice, Anne Sheffield tells you:
- What you need to know about your partner’s mental health and what to do about it … for your own well-being.
- What experiences, behaviors, and feelings are “normal” when dealing with depressive illness.
- How to overcome your sense of helplessness and take charge of your life.
- Ways to restore your optimism, peace of mind, and sense of humor.
- Where to find a community of peers to offer ongoing support.
Don’t give up. Reach out.

I am reviewing this book:this is a final,revised review:I have found that yes,it has helped me so much. Anne’s sensitively and compassionate book,have a lot to say on the subject of depression fallout. I am writing this review,in order to correct some rather hasty and poor judgements of both Anne,and members (including Lisa) of the board,”Depression Fallout”. I ask forgiveness for my harsh words. Being not only a diabetic,a depression fallout sufferer who has suffered unending pain and trauma,over 15 years (since my father’s death) along with extreme bereavement trauma. My only constructive critique of Anne’s book:has to do with this aspect of depression fallout:my situation is different from others. Living with my mother,(crippled by not merely depression,but arthritus,and extreme bereavement trauma) I have to try to live with and through my own depression,plus my depression fallout-the board has been there for me,and I am truly thankful. If in her future books,the aspect of depression fallout,along with family ill health,being the son and brother of depressives,along with bereavement trauma which affects this even more/worse,if this subject were to be discussed,it might help those like myself,who are living through fire. I hope that when this final and newly revised review appears,that it will help people. Thank you,Anne,and Thank You:Goldenheart. Marc Bernstein.

This book was very helpful in guiding me with how to deal with my depressed husband. There is a new therapy approved by the FDA in August of 2005: vagus nerve stimulation. I read the book “out of the Black Hole: The Patient’s Guide to Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Depression”:. The author’s depression was practically identical to my husband’s. I hope and pray that this new treatment will save our marriage.

This book is a godsend. I thought I was having a breakdown until I read this book. I learned that my symptoms were being caused by the depressed person in my life. This book explains how your depression fallout mirrors the depressed person’s own illness. You get dragged along for the ride (so to speak). If you are having difficulty in a relationship due to depression, you must read this book.

It’s been almost 8 years in a relationship with a depressed spouse and finally a breakthrough for what I go through daily as a supportive spouse. Many times I wanted to call it quits because of the confusion, resentment, anger and demorilization I felt being on the other end of the depressive cycle. Now I know millions who support face the same challenges and there are tools to cope or help to move on in life. Great information compiled from various points of view. This book literally saved my mind.
