Help! Someone I love is depressed

Practical Advice for Those Suffering from Depression, as well as for Their Families, Friends, Caregivers, and Churches.

Although he holds a doctorate in the subject of depression, author Greg L. Russ chose to write this book from the perspective of a patient. Having gone through five clinical depressive crises, he offers a graphic panorama of the dark abyss as he put into writing the insights he gained when his depression was intertwined with God's mercy. Russ extends an invitation to family, friends, churches, and pastors connected with the patient, to be part of the comforting process. This work, "Help! Someone I Love is Depressed," contains messages for the church, medical and counseling professions, as well as the armed forces and the general public.

"Telling people they need to "buck up" or "believe in God more" doesn't help. I liked the simplicity of the book as a guide to make us more sensitive and open our eyes to how to support people struggling with the stubborn darkness of depression."
—Paul Garrett del Río, pastor

"'Help, Someone I Love is Depressed' is a book that clearly explains what depression is, how to deal with it with appropriate tools, and how to escape its clutches free and strengthened. I recommend reading it."
—Mirna Sotomayor L., missionary
