If you are struggling with clinical depression, remember that God has gifted us with medical science, medication, and good Christian friendship.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and my friend Eva knows depression runs in her family. For a long time, she wondered if it were right to take medication for her depression, but then she realized that God gifted us with medical science and, in the right circumstances, when combined with counseling and spiritual disciplines, medication can ease people back into the daylight. But Eva does not rely on medication alone. She realizes that no pill can ever sponge away the darkness in her heart, and so she supplements her treatment with friends who speak biblical truth into her life; they pray for her and keep her accountable. If you know someone who is struggling with clinical depression, remember it is a condition that requires prayer support, Christian accountability, and professional help, and you know what? Maybe a little medication.
