Tips for Dealing With a Depressed Spouse When one spouse is depressed, a marriage is depressed. This illness erodes emotional and sexual intimacy and suffuses a relationship with pessimism and resentment, anger and isolation.
对待抑郁症配偶的小妙招：如果夫妻任何一方处于抑郁状态，那么婚姻也会很抑郁。这种疾病会消耗情感亲密和性亲密度，让夫妻关系充满消极、怨恨、愤怒和孤独。
Even the sunniest, most capable partner can be pulled into depression's strong undertow. If there's depression in your marriage, it's time to act—for your partner and yourself. Emily Scott-Lowe, Ph.D., an assistant visiting professor of social work at Pepperdine University said, “Getting diagnosed and treated makes all the difference".
即便是最阳光、最万能的夫妻也有可能被卷入抑郁症中。如果你的婚姻中出现了抑郁症，那么你就该为自己和你的伴侣开始行动了。拜访佩伯代因大学社会工作教授的助手兼哲学博士艾米丽·斯科特-洛维说“接受诊断和治疗有很大作用。”
These steps can help you get help. Be alert to small changes. Depression can come on slowly, almost imperceptibly. Don't wait for your spouse to hit bottom. If you think your spouse is depressed, approach them with concern and with an action plan.
这些步骤能让你得到帮助。要警觉细小的改变。抑郁症的发展非常缓慢，几乎难以察觉。不要等到你的伴侣陷入最低谷才开始行动。如果你觉得你的伴侣有些抑郁，要关心他们、靠近他们，并制定出行动计划。
