Depression can have a really tough impact on a relationship. It can make it hard for both people to connect, communicate, and enjoy things together. It can also lead to arguments and misunderstandings.

What other effects do you think depression can have on relationships?
 
If someone who's depressed and also in a relationship find it very difficult to communicate with his or her partner, it will hard for the relationship to survive. But if they do, their partner should support them 100% to help them get better.

Communication is a very important aspect of a relationship. If it is lost then there is high probability that the relationship is doomed already.

Exactly! Depression or not, all forms of human relationship need good communication to thrive. When there is depression, that's when when communication is far more important.
 
Depression is not a death sentence. It is a health condition that can actually be managed properly and someone can still have a very healthy relationship.

Exactly. It depends on how the people that surround the person involved with depression handle the matter. Just be kind to them, they will heal very fast.
 
If you are depressed, don't rush into a relationship. Make sure you heal before trying to accommodate another person. I said this because you might enter more deeper into depression or you heal completely courtesy of your partner and how you behave too.

Yes but it is also possible to be depressed while in a relationship. So will you suggest that the person leave such relationship immediately?
