It Can be Chemistry    
Depression is Depressing      
     
   There is major depression, long lasting and debilitating.

   Then there is situational depression, brought on by a major life event or stressful situation. The loss of a loved one or a serious illness can result in deep sadness, hopelessness, avoidance of social activities and changes in eating or sleeping habits. 

   As seen in our health insurance magazine, some people can handle it on their own. Others might explore health services, such as individual therapy or counseling.

   Specific support groups can help someone in situational depression or other common difficulties.

   The insurance company says that medication might be an answer, while coping skills learned during one episode may be valuable in future life events.

   Our relative was healed of depression, the doctor said, through earnest, family prayer. Years later he suffered another episode, and again he came through.

   We would like to know if the peace, joy and other gifts of the Holy Spirit sometimes prevents depression altogether. It can be chemistry. Other times depression may take control in the absence of the knowledge of God.
