I need a good Book about helping a family member with severe depression.

My mother is 63. This past year has seen her dive head first into reclusive isolation. She is bitter and angry at the world and is doing nothing but food shop and watch TV in bed.

I thought Id ask this community of readers if they've ever gain insight from a good book pertaining to this.

I used to work at B&N so I know what kind of books riddled those sections.

I need something substantial. Something that has given one of you the insight to help communicate better to a loved one about their happiness.

Trying to avoid the cookie cutter ones from pseudoscience gurus and all that.

Can even be outside the box.

Thanks. I love my mother and want her back. I just don't know what do or say anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
