Thread Name: Help: When a friend is depressed
Subject: RE: Help: When a friend is depressed
A brother in law of mine is gone because of cd. Looking back, I can see the signs of it from the time he was 9 years old. At his death, he was being treated but they never did find the right balance.

Has anyone here read the writer, William Styron's book, Dark (something)? I can't quite recall the title but it is a vivid, very graphic, account of his plunge into depression and his tentative climb out with the aid of chemical balancing. Well worth reading.
