Summary: Eye opener
Comment: This book was an eye opener for me. My spouse was dealing with depression, I was dealing with the fallout, and thought I was the only person in the world having this experience. It never occurred to me that I was experiencing what many others were also going through. It never occurred to me that depression could take its toll on the entire family, not just the depressed. I stumbled onto "Depression Fallout" website purely by chance, and after reading the information there and reading so many of the posts on the Message Board I knew I'd found the support I needed. Once I started reading the book, I could not put it down. Anne described my emotions and situation to a T. Everything I felt and thought while going through this experience was recounted in her book and I felt as if she were telling my particular story. Ms. Sheffield was able to capture the true effects of depression from her own experiences and from the experiences of other fallout sufferers. She gave me tools and strategies to use while coping with my depressed spouse, and laid it out in plain-spoken format.This is a MUST read for anyone living with a depressed partner, and even for those with depressed persons in their family.

Summary: This book was a life saver
Comment: This book was a God send for me. For years, I had no idea what was wrong with me or why I was so miserable. I knew my husband was bipolar and/or depressed, but I had no idea what impact that had on my family or myself until I read her book. She described my life and what I was feeling perfectly. When I read her book I realized I was not alone, and that fallout has affected a lot of people all over this world. Like an addiction (drug, alcohol, gambling, etc), Depression is truly a family problem and can destroy it as well. If you are dealing with someone who has depression and it's affecting you, I strongly suggest you read this book. It won't fix your problems, but it will give you the tools & knowledge you need to turn your life around, and rebuild yourself (get back your self esteem, setting boundaries, being happy again, etc).

Summary: A book devoted to the other half
Comment: Anne's books have been so helpful to me. I wish I had found them years ago. This book in particular is so important because it addresses the dynamics of the relationship between couples. It gives wonderful advice about how to help your loved one cope with the illness, as well as how to help yourself. It is honest, heartfelt, supportive and very realistic. If you are married or in a committed relationship with someone who is depressed (or even if you THINK they are), GET THIS BOOK!
