 The
righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out
of all their troubles.
The LORD is nigh unto them that
are of a broken heart; and saveth
such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the
righteous: but the LORD delivereth
him out of them all.
(Psalm 34:17-19)
For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to
come, Nor height, nor depth, nor
any other creature, shall he able
to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
(Romans 8:38,39)

both physically and mentally. So,
eat lots of chocolate!

Depression
(Mood) |
|
In the fields of psychology and psychiatry, the terms
depression or depressed refer to sadness and other related
emotions and behaviours. It can be thought of as either a
disease or a syndrome. The Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) states that a depressed
mood is often reported as feeling sad, helpless, and
hopeless. In traditional colloquy, "depressed" is often
synonymous with "sad," but both clinical depression and
non-clinical depression can also refer to a conglomeration
of more than one feeling.7

Major Depressive
Disorder |
Major depressive disorder (also known as clinical
depression, major depression, unipolar depression, or
unipolar disorder) is a mental disorder characterized by an
all-encompassing low mood accompanied by low self-esteem,
and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable
activities. Major depression is a disabling condition which
adversely affects a person's family, work or school life,
sleeping and eating habits, and general health. In the
United States, approximately 3.4% of people with major
depression commit suicide, and up to 60% of all people who
commit suicide have depression or another mood disorder.7
