You are very welcome here. This forum is a place for sharing support and knowledge about depression. Learning more about your daughter's illness and recieving support as it effect you too are an important part of the equation. It is very very commendable that you are learning more about the disease in order to support your daughter and that you are looking for the support of others who know "first hand". Many parents are in denial and impose uncomfortable feelings and expectations on the person suffering, which just makes it infinitely harder for them to cope.
