Living with a Black Dog
Many authors take 500 pages or more to explain depression. A good author will explain it in 300. Once again, Matthew Johnstone conveys the experience of depression in just 80 pages!
In Living with a Black Dog, Mathew and Ainsley Johnstone set out the experience of depression from the point of view of a relative or partner.
Importantly, this book is not just about what you can do to help and encourage someone with depression. It is also about the importance of looking after yourself too. And while the book conveys a good deal of the struggle involved in living with someone with depression, its ultimate message is positive. With the right approach, you can bring the black dog to heel, and in time, your loved one will recover from their depression.
