Depression can be a debilitating mental illness that can drain you of your energy and motivation. It can leave you feeling worthless, hopeless, and helpless. As Christian Counselors, we recognize that depression is not just a medical disorder but a spiritual battle as well. We also recognize how challenging it may be for you to advocate for your mental health needs but at times be met with denial and hesitancy from those around you because you need to just “pray more.” It can be difficult to navigate the intersection between faith and mental health and it may look different for everyone.
