Family and friends

Research has shown that talking to people about the way you feel can be as effective as taking antidepressants. In one study 80% of mums recovered after seeing their health visitor for one hour a week for just 8 weeks. Tell your family and friends. Talk to them about how you are feeling. Tell them you will get better and the old you will reappear but for now, you are ill and need special understanding. Maybe print out this page and hand it to everyone who cares about you.
