The holidays can be a difficult time for your friends and family members who suffer from depression. The illness often diminishes a person’s ability to connect with other people, but not their desire. “Please don’t let our lack of bubbly happiness freak you out,” says writer Bill Bernat. “Sadness doesn’t need to be treated with the urgency of a shark attack.” So what should you do for your loved ones? Talk to them in a normal voice, not a sad one. Interact with them about typical, everyday things and feel free to ask them for help. And don’t think that being sad and being OK are incompatible. "We’re taught that sadness is unnatural, and we must resist it. In truth, it’s natural and it’s healthy to accept sadness and know it won’t last forever,” adds Bill.
