About this ebook
When your parent seems to have lost their spark, it’s easy to mistake depression for old age, or to feel helpless in the face of their withdrawal. This book is a compassionate, practical guide for adult children who want to understand and support a parent living with depression in later life. You’ll learn how to recognise the often-subtle signs, how to start conversations that don’t push them away, and how to navigate the medical system to get the right help. With clear explanations of treatments—from medication to talking therapies—and honest advice on managing daily routines, crisis moments, and the overlap with dementia, this guide empowers you to be an effective advocate without losing yourself. You’ll also find essential strategies for protecting your own wellbeing, because caring for a parent with depression is a marathon, not a sprint. Written with warmth and grounded in mainstream clinical consensus, this book gives you the knowledge and confidence to walk alongside your parent with patience, hope, and practical skill. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
