Women and Depression - General Information
This site, run by Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Women's Mental Health, is a very diverse site with information about many types of depression and treatment at various stages of a women's life. While it does not include a Christian perspective, the physiological research and recommendations appear to be very sound.
Many Christians worry that if
they have DEPRESSION there is something
wrong with their FAITH.
Are you one of them?
These may be your questions (or the person in depression you are trying to encourage) too!
- Have you wondered if feeling discouraged means you are failing God?
- Does taking medication mean my faith is weak?
- Shouldn't Christians who have received the Holy Spirit be protected from depression?
- Do you feel the need to look "perfect" while your friends seem so high in their faith and you feel so depressed?
- Do Christians choose to be depressed or are they being tested by God?
- How do you reconcile unkind or dishonest behavior from those who claim the title of Christian?
- Why do Christians feel so uncomfortable acknowledging depression?
- Does Hebrews 10:26 bother you and seem like a condemnation for one in depression?
- How do I help a friend or relative who is both a Christian Believer and struggling with depression?
After collecting real questions that Christians have, I put my faith and years of counseling and coaching experience to work to respond to these heart cries in a written format. My goal was to provide sound basic information and then address these questions in a conversational style, as though I was sitting together with the questioner.
Now this resource is available for you: one who experiences depression; or a relative or friend of someone in depression. Coaches and therapists may also find it helpful to respond to these difficult issues of the seeming conflict between having faith and experiencing depression.
