Having depression is hard.Loving and caring for someone with depression is, too. November is National Caregivers Month, and this 24-minute episode explores the need for boundaries, perspective, communication, and self-care while supporting a family member who is struggling. This 24-minute episode is a response to last week's "I Wish People Understood How Hard and Lonely it Is," in which a caregiver asked for some guidance on how to run a home and raise a child with a partner whose depression makes them unavailable at times. Our guest Gwen offers some lessons she's learned navigating a similar situation for decades. It is peer support at its finest.
