One can't understand depression with logic or reason. It doesn't make sense, seems foolish, self-centered, and very narrow. This is why I write this blog- to help you understand.
Neil T. and Joanne Anderson explain the mind-set of a depressed person perfectly. In thier excellent book Overcoming Depression they write, "The cry of the depressed is, Have mercy upon me. I don't need to be scolded, judged, advised or rejected. I need to be understood, accepted, affirmed and loved. If that doesn't come first, then all the biblical answers we have to give them will fall upon deaf ears."
Read this over again, please. I don't know of deeper understanding.
