Soon the specialist will be at the Chambly cultural center to present her book there Living with a loved one who suffers from depression. “The goal is to detect depression,” she explains. In Canada, more than one in five is affected. I normalize the reactions and symptoms of relatives of the victims while telling them what to do and not to do. Sometimes we can have a normal reaction but not necessarily productive for the victim. »»
