Advice for people who are caring for people who are depressed

I am coaching a person who is a care-giver for a depressed person.  I found this article to be very helpful.  Really, the general principles here can be applied to anyone who is living–because we all are dealing with challenges every day. If you are wanting to simplify your life, and yet you have someone suffering from deep depression who you need to take care of, I think these suggestions could help you on your journey.  http://psychcentral.com/lib/self-care-for-depression-caregivers/0002877
