Depression leaves a long shadow.. but doesn't have to last forever! Everyone gets the blues. We all suffer through a gloomy, gray day every now and then. For most, those gray moods evaporate as soon as the sun comes out again. But for others, their gray periods last longer with each episode. Maybe they begin to experience lingering anxiety or sadness, decreased energy, loss of interest in favorite activities, difficulty concentrating, pervasive emptiness, or increasing restlessness -- all potential signs of growing depression. As time passes, stress continues to build for depressed people. They isolate themselves. Consciously or not, they recall unresolved pains from the past and struggle with guilt, fear, and anger. If these symptoms are ignored, they can quickly pile up and create a debilitating sense of helplessness and hopelessness. Yet hope and healing are never out of reach. In this workbook, Dr. Gregory Janta explores not only the sources and symptoms of depression, but also provides a workable solution. He presents a pathway, through God's power, to forgive past offenses, restore laughter and gratitude, and recover joy and purpose in life. And as depression becomes a thing of the past, he explains why you can then expect an extraordinary life.
