		<description><![CDATA[Some things to keep in mind if you know someone who is suffering from depression:

First of all, this isn&#8217;t a case of the blues.  It isn&#8217;t a passing mood.  Clinical depression does have its ups and downs, but the person suffering won&#8217;t just &#8220;get over it.&#8221;

If there is a chore the person really dislikes, take over doing it &#8211; permanently or for a set period of time.
