Support for a partner—and for yourself

David J. A. Dozois’s guide addresses the challenges of supporting a partner with depression while managing the strain that can place on the relationship. It covers communication, helping a partner find treatment, encouraging reengagement with enjoyable activities, and responding to negative thinking. Alongside this partner-focused guidance, the book emphasizes attending to one’s own needs and well-being, making self-care part of the subject rather than an afterthought. Its practical focus is on navigating depression as a couple while sustaining the relationship.

Learn evidence-based strategies and "dos and don'ts" for communicating sensitively with your partner, helping them find the right treatment, encouraging them to reengage with activities they enjoy, and challenging negative thinking. Dr. Dozois also provides crucial guidance for attending to your own needs and well-being. For couples seeking to keep their bond strong and overcome depression together, this book offers a grounded, hopeful path forward.
