Caregiving and Coping People with depression and/or anxiety recover faster - and stay well - when they have people in their lives who understand the condition and support their recovery.
If friends and family learn about the condition, they can provide a vital support network. The network can also encourage the person to keep up with treatments given by doctors and therapists.
Some doctors will ask family members to come into the consultation with the person who has depression or anxiety. Use the time to ask the questions that you need answered, writing a list beforehand to remind you if necessary.
The doctor might provide booklets or videos that help explain the illness
