Description

Depression affects millions worldwide, with approximately one in eight people experiencing a severe depressive episode at some point in their lives. Psychiatrist and theologian Richard Winter explores the complex medical and psychological issues surrounding depression, examining both its biochemical and genetic causes as well as social and cultural factors. Winter also addresses common Christian misunderstandings of depression and examines how biblical characters experienced severe despair. He offers practical guidance for those struggling with depression, including ways to understand and cope with this condition. This book provides a framework for understanding depression and rediscovering hope, even in the darkest times. By exploring the intersection of medicine and theology, Winter helps readers find hope and healing in the midst of depression.
