Dealing with Depression: A Christian Perspective
憂鬱症之基督教靈性關顧
並列摘要
Objective: Depression is a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual disorder. Depression inevitably forces people to face experiences of meaninglessness and hopelessness. In this overview, I intended to review Christian's aspect of spiritual care on depression, restoring meaning, purpose and hope for the depressed person. Method: Based on my practice of Christianity and psychiatry, I searched the literature on the topic area. Results: I first describe depressive feeling in those with Christian faith, and explained the importance of restoring the meaning in Christianity. Then, I deal with depression with eight aspects: (A) Jesus: a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, (B) prayer: God as therapist, (C) Christian fellowship: a strong social support, (D) suffering: a blessing in disguise, (E) hope: enabling courage to live, (F) forgiveness: healing of trauma, (G) letting go: overcoming loss, and (H) love: overcoming learned helplessness. Conclusion: By adding Christian spiritual care to ordinary psychiatric treatments, Christians suffering with depression can get a holistic treatment for their depression.
