Support groups for families of depressive people

Quick Question: Is there such a thing as a support group for people with severely depressed people in their families? Kind of like Alanon for mental illness

Question Question Lady Answer:  Yes! Just a sample you can find through the Web by searching "depression support groups for families"

http://www.familyaware.org/resources/supportgroups.php
http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/support-groups.html

Each has a link to where you can find a local or a web-based support group. 

I would also check the website of your local hospital. Many of them have on-going support groups or facilitated therapy groups on a variety of topics, including depression, grief and bereavement, and transitions.

Additionally, your community center, church or synagogue may also have local support groups for families with a depressed individual. 

Let me know if you find what you're looking for.
