Are There Any Online Support Groups of People Who Have Loved Ones With Depression?
Question by Jewelry Queen: Are there any online support groups of people who have loved ones with depression?
I only seem to be able to find ones if you’re depressed yourself and I’m looking for one more specifically about people with depressed loved ones.
Thank you very much for any help.

I don’t know much online support groups, but I can give you a link to what you can do to help someone who does have depression. Oh I noticed your American so I apologise as it an Australian organisation.

Try going to your local GP or pharmacy and ask them. They could point you in the right direction.
I’ve found a few. I’m not sure how relavent they are to what you’re looking for, (they seem to be more how you can help them than how you can cope with it) The first one I think would be the most useful for you:
