A language barrier often exists between people with depression and those around them, in the sense that many words, everyday expressions and non-verbal forms of communication can take on vastly different meanings than they otherwise would when they are coming from someone with depression. And, this language barrier often results in people with depression feeling misunderstood, alone, unsupported, even more depressed, and significantly more at risk of attempting suicide. Learning the Language of Depression: Overcoming Communication Barriers so People with Depression Are Safe and Understood shines a light on this gap in communication. Written by The Depression Project -- an organization with more than 3,000,000 followers on social media -- this book begins by discussing what people with depression actually mean when they say, for example: I have depressionI'm fine or I'm OKI'm tired, I can't, I don't care, leave me alone, I'm busy or I want to go home nowI'm having a good day This eye-opening book then highlights the language people with depression often use that can indicate they are feeling suicidal -- which tragically, is often ignored, dismissed or not picked up on by the people around them. Additionally, it also breaks down depression's facial language barrier and touch language barrier that often exist between people with depression and those around them. An insightful read filled with a-ha moments throughout, Learning the Language of Depression is an ideal book for people with depression who would like some help communicating what they are going through so that they can be better understood, as well as friends and family of someone with depression who would like to better understand their loved one and effectively support them.
