This can be difficult especially when the recipient is uncooperative or lashing out. As long as the giving partner fully understands the situation and is willing to cope, the extra efforts will pay off in the long run.<\/p>\n

I would go further to suggest that this effect can be carried on beyond primary relationship. Love and support given to parents, siblings or close friends can have a similar effect and will go a long way helping the depressed person recover or get better sooner.<\/p>\n

Recovery takes time, patience and perseverance, but is possible by working with a professional therapist and with the support of a loving partner.<\/p>\n

Seeking professional help from a certified therapist specializing in depression is one of the first steps to take control of depression.<\/p>\n
