I suffered for 10 years with a major depressive illness before it was properly diagnosed and treated. During that 10 years I read a lot of material and consulted with many health professionals. Some of the advice I received was good and some was downright dangerous. Because of my experience with depression, I was immediately interested in a podcast done by Krista Tippett on Speaking of Faith® where she interviews a number of people and discussed depression and its effects on faith. I highly recommend it. You can find it by clicking here where you can download, listen online, or listen to it on your iPod.

ReplyDeleteHi there Steve
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say that it is great that you are very open in sharing this us. The mix if depresssion, faith and Christianity can be a potent one and unfortunately I have seen that it is not always done right. Let's just hope that we deal with this with sensitivity and care to all.
