The 30-45 minute telephone sessions will use "cognitive-behavioral" techniques, a method proven to be effective in relieving depressive symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral techniques will teach you skills in relaxation and activity scheduling, as well as ways to recognize and fight negative thoughts. You will also be given a journal to record and practice ways of fighting depression. The intervention will include an educational component for your spouse/partner or caregiver on the nature of clinical depression. The spouse/caregiver will be given a booklet which explains facts about depressive disorders and helpful ways that they can support you. You may also be given over-the counter samples of toothpaste and oral products if approved by your doctor or dentist. You will also be given the use of a mini-food-blender to help you problem solve issues of eating during the course of the study. You will be asked to return the mini-food-blender at the end of the study.
