If you battle with depression or if you’re married to someone who battles depression, you know the horrible control it can have over your life (and/or the life of your loved one).

Depression can totally paralyze you from doing that which you want to do, and that which you know you should do. It seems to possess your life for the period of time that you’re caught within its grip.

Here at Marriage Missions, we receive countless letters from so many people who are either battling depression or are trying to help their spouse who is caught up in its horrible stronghold. They’re crying out for some type of relief, and help, and understanding.

How we wish we could ease everyone’s pain that is being affected and infected from the devastation that depression causes— but we know that’s not realistic!

Yet, even though we may not be able to take away everyone’s pain or even give a DEFINITE answer of what to always do when you or your loved one is under attack in this way, we came across a really good article (which came from a book) that might give you SOME type of help.

In order to honor the copyright of this article (and the book) we’re going to provide a link for you to be able to read what it says by sending you to the web site Troubledwith.com which is part of the wonderful ministry of Focus on the Family.
