Research Notes on Depression and Relationships
When in a relationship, depression weighs heavy on both partners. The person that is not suffering depression can have feelings of isolation or helplessness and may take ownership for their loved one's depression.1 Depression in a relationship can often lead to other problems if left untreated.1
Fast Facts:
- Couples counseling has proven successful in helping couples handle the strain that depression can put on a relationship.2
- Depression should be taken seriously by both partners so as to not minimize the realness of the illness.2
- Seeking professional help for depression can minimize the chances of your relationship ending in divorce.3
