FREE: "When Hope is Lost - Dealing with Depression" Booklet

An interesting and quick read (there is a PDF version on the Discovery Series website). Though it was informative for the layperson and insightful for someone questioning whether or not they are suffering from depression, I thought it lacked the authoritive references necessary. For example, the author lists self-diagnostic questions taken from Beck's Depression Inventory, yet there is no citation for commonly used tool. The author suggestions the concept of demon possession as a cause for depression, yet does not suggest an avenue to address it specifically. Last, but not in the least bit least, suicide is not addressed. This is the most dangerous aspect of this illness. Left untreated, the risks of suicide escalate. Thoughts of self-harm, suicidal and homicidal ideation, a psychotic break from reality and acceptance of these avenues as reasonable and prudent.
If bidders opt for looking at this booklet, I would suggest that they also go to the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) or NIHM (National Institute of Mental Health) websites to supplement this more spiritual approach with an experiential and empathetically one (NAMI), as well as a more clinical one (NIHM).
Either way, it is essential that hope for those suffering from this illness and other similar mood disorders, get help. Your offering this pamphlet to the community is a godsend. Thank you.
