This blog is designed to try and help people understand more about depression from a personal stand point. Hopefully, it will also serve as a support for those suffering from it and be a help for their families, friends, and others.
"Remember that God has given us wondrous knowledge and techonology that can help us overcome grievous problems such as mental illness. Seriously mentally ill persons simply cannot, through an exercise of will, get out of the predicament they are in. They need help, encouragement, understanding and love...we don't say to persons with heart disease or cancer, 'Just grow up up and get over it.' Neither should we treat the mentally ill in such an uncompassionate and unhelpful way."
(Elder Alexander Morrison, Emeritus Seventy).
