Depression

Persistent feelings of sadness and
hopelessness among high schoolers have risen astronomically since 2011.
According to a Harvard study, “Young adults in the US report twice the rates of
anxiety and depression as teens.” Depression and other emotional issues have
reached an all-time high, in terms of frequency and severity.

Mental health
specialists are sounding the alarm for all ages. As people experience
significant increases in emotional challenges since COVID-19, leading to
increases in suicides, author and educator Dr. Bill Stephens offers critical
advice he found to be successful in his own struggle with depression.

“To the extent
that a person’s life has been affected by past actions or reactions, a
therapist can be the one to help untangle these confusions within a person’s
mind,” Bill suggests, “but the impact of negative spiritual forces is now being
recognized as a key factor in depression and only a spiritual solution can
impact our minds, hearts, and souls in such a way as to give us relief.”

Using personal
experience and key Bible passages on how to handle these issues, Bill provides
needed instruction and direction to help anyone overcome the serious disease of
depression.
