Depression is real
It upsets me a bit to see that the question “can ‘real’ Christians be depressed?” is even something we need to address. Do we need a full 10-paragraph article? I was almost expecting Onion-esque satire with a one-word article: “Yes.”
Why would anyone, in this day and age, expect that faith protects us from the same sicknesses the rest of humanity is plagued with? Or do people just not know that depression is just as much a physical/chemical issue as it is a spiritual one (if not more so)? I guess I thought better of people. That’ll teach me.
