11．Depressed people can be very difficult to be around，and yet they need more than the usual amount of support and understanding from their friends and family．The anger and lack of concern that a depressed person may have for people close to him or her can be very disturbing to someone who's trying to help．（36）C．Withdrawal from others can make it nearly impossible to encourage a depressed person to enter into activities that may help pull him or her out of the depression．
