Abstract:
Someday there will be no stigma and self-condemnation associated with getting medical help for clinical depression. Americans statistically are getting better educated about this but much more progress is needed. By sharing my story I hope to lessen the gap between Christians that think taking medication for depression is acceptable and those that don’t.

I’ve had a lot of experience dealing with depression as an emotional issue, a medical issue and a spiritual issue; and while getting the medications is essential to restore chemical balance to the brain, knowledge of God and His Word is the real key to healing of the entire person.
