Is this you?
Family members or friends of a person struggling with a mood disorder are in a unique position. You are able to offer a different kind of support than a mental health or medical provider can.
You may be the first person to notice changes in your loved one’s mood or functioning. You are also likely to be the first person with an opportunity to intervene to help improve your loved one’s situation.
If you are providing this kind of support, you are a Caregiver.
