Depression and Family Crisis

Within a family, crisis can either be a great or a horrible thing. What we think influences how we feel and it is important to share our experiences with our family and help each other through them. Most of the thoughts that make us miserable are inaccurate and distorted. This also leads to the fact that depression is largely a mindset. Many people that are depressed were abused as children. Some ways to help people that were abused is to let them know that evil is stupid. Some people do stupid things and there isn't always a good reason. They need to know that it isn't their fault and that they couldn't have done anything to deserve it. Lastly, let them know that their spirit was hurt. The reason they feel so hurt is not because they are inadequate but because their spirit was hurt.
