Nab, you could try finding a book called sunbathing in the rain, I can't remember who it is by but it is very good and DH could read it too

There is another book for the people living with someone who is depressed but I thought I would get this one for me first. If I am better, then DH will be fine.

It might be helpful for close family or partners who don't understand the comlexities of a deep depression, especially when it is so difficult for the depressed person to communicate when things get bad.
The illustrations are good.
