A life of depression

Depression is something I have had to deal with for a very long time I don't have depression but The love of my life does and as the bystander it can be very difficult.
I think to my self just get out of your funk let go do something, lets go to the park, lets go away for the weekend without our children. But most of the time I get the same old answer I also get NO I don't feel like it.
Someone with depression has a tendency to push away all those that our close to them and why is this they are the who want to help. I guess you always hurt the ones you love or so that what the saying is. But I don't and will not be pushed away I guess maybe I am up for the punishment.
The life of someone depressed  is very  down and they can't see the bright side of it. They only  look at bad things and only bad could continue to happen to them because they are no good.  Even if you thing you can make them see the light of day.
This is a difficulty task to perform. If you know someone with depression or just would like some good information about depression I have researched depression and I may have some helpful pointer and tips.

Depression is a serious illness but it can be cured with the help of antidepressants medicine, therapy and the professional assist of  a mental health team.
 But no medicine can be as effective as the support of a loved one. No one has survived depression without acknowledging the role the support of loved ones played in their overcoming depression.
