Dealing with a Depressed Person has a direct approach to helping you identify depression and get the person help.  I liked that the book explained what depression really is; the signs and the types of depressive disorders that there are.  It humanized the disease.  The book also gives you the tools to identify what you are dealing with and how you can modify your behavior and reactions to help a depressed person through their crisis.  In no way is this book substitute for professional assistance but it makes assisting a depressed person not such a battle; especially when you understand that you have to depersonalize what a depressed person says to you and take the role of a support person more strongly.  I think the clear cut approach of the book and style of delivery of the information makes this a very handy book to keep when depression is in your environment.
