Yes like Al Anon

The steps work so well in all parts of life.
Replace alcoholic behaviors with behaviors that could be abrasive that are caused by depression.
Thing I find though... an alcoholic can't be forced to do anything but I can be motivated enough to pull out of depression. I don't have clinical depression so maybe that is why as well. Still the encouragement and boundaries work well for us both,
