Dealing With Depression

Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and meaninglessness are universal, and depression is as old as human history. It knows no boundaries, and affects people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Depression is not always explainable, and it can strike even when things seem to be going well. While some people may experience mild forms of depression, others are almost paralyzed by the disorder – which can result in devastating consequences. One in five people will suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Fortunately, there are effective ways to help depressed individuals overcome the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual struggles that are burdening them.
