Conversations we Need to Have – Depression

Major depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States impacting millions of Americans.  What is the impact of depression on believers and the church?  In our July 13 message (you can view the message at www.springhillbaptist.org) we seek to differentiate between what is a physical/mental health issue and what is a spiritual issue.  I have spent a lot of time with inviduals who wanted to treat their depression as a spiritual issue only or who view taking medicine for depression as a spiritual weakness.   How can we help people understand the difference between the physical reasons and spiritual reasons for depression?  How can we be supportive of those who suffer from depression?  For the millions of Americans who suffer in a never ending cycle of depression – how do we help them find hope in God?
