DEPRESSION affects at least one in five people at some time during their lives. While the condition is extremely debilitating, those living with a depressive also suffer -- though we rarely hear their stories. Here, in a frank and moving account, JENNIFER THOMSON describes life in the shadow of her partner's depression, and its effect on her own health. VISITING Paris had always been my dream, but no one goes to the city of love alone. Then I met John, and a few months later he took me on a romantic trip there. As we gazed up at the Eiffel Tower, I had never felt so happy. 'Paris in the autumn -- it just doesn't get more romantic that this,' I thought as we stood in the moonlight, hand-in-hand.
