Enormously, in fact most people would be surprised. When going through a depressive episode, the person's mind is usually on how bad things are for them and with a negative mindset. They do not realise that other people are probably worrying about them alot. There is nothing more devastating then having a loved one commit suicide, however that is the worst outcome of depression. But when going through a depressive cycle, if you have a negative mindset, that can begin to rub off on the people you spend most of your time with, and possibly even send them into a depressive cycle. The best way to prevent this is to seek help for your depression. Depression is a clinical disease, it isn't just a mindset as many people believe. There are treatments available to help get you back to being happy and out of the depressive cycle.
