Depression Biblical

People with bad feelings and feeling-directed behavior - anger, fear, worry, depression - usually are given a psychiatric label. Initially, I was comfortable with that approach, but I have come to realize that people must be evaluated based on a proper understanding of the Bible. When that happens, the whole person (thinking, wanting, and doing) will be considered - not just outward behavior and feelings.

Depression is a deep, dark pit. The suffering is real. Christians are not exempt from it. Christian psychologists confirm that clinical depression is just as common among Christians as among non-Christians. Famous contemporary Christians and Bible writers have suffered from major depression. This book will reveal those who have suffered from it and will also reveal the biblical strategies and spiritual warfare needed to battle and overcome it. There is hope.

If I could make it to the bridge, the pain would stop. I just had to make it to the bridge, and the hopelessness would end. It became a refrain, running over and over in my head as I raced down the highway. Make it to the bridge, and the pain will end. It's hopeless. Just wanna die. Make it to the bridge.
