This is dedicated to my friend K.G. who is getting better.


For people who are helping friends or loved ones with depression, I found helpguide.org's pages on depression very well written (http://www.helpguide.org/mental/liv.....sed_person.htm). If you believe your loved one is at an immediate risk for suicide, do not leave the person alone. Dial 911 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/) at 1-800-273-TALK.
