Description

The Catholic Guide to Depression: Integrating Faith and Modern Psychology for Healing Depression is a profound and pervasive sorrow that has afflicted countless Christians, including many saints, throughout history. While great faith and fervent spiritual practices have often failed to ease this desolation of soul, modern psychiatry has devised effective ways to address this grave affliction. This book explores the ways in which Catholic teachings and modern psychology can be integrated to provide healing. Catholic psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty reviews the effective ways to deal with depression, drawing on his extensive clinical experience treating patients with this condition. He explains how the confessional, spiritual direction, and the Sacraments can be used to address the root causes of depression, rather than just its symptoms. By combining the legitimate discoveries of modern psychology and pharmacology with spiritual guidance, it is possible to distinguish depression from other mental states and to find true healing.
