Healthy Depression
Ebook
Depression is the most common mental health struggle on earth, but before we treat it, it helps to determine if it is the illness or the symptom. There are some depressions that are biologically based, and others that are situational, and some that are based on a lack of meaning and purpose in life. This book will help you figure out if you have the sufficient meaning and purpose in your life that serves as a protective factor when the hard times inevitably come. We will examine how depression can be a sign of health and how you can find meaning and purpose in your life.
