Depression strikes millions, across all ages and demographic groups. Approximately one in eight will have a severe depressive episode at some point in their life. Women experience depression twice as often as men. And over fifty percent of people with serious depression do not get adequate help. What can be done? Psychiatrist and theologian Richard Winter explores the complex medical and psychological issues surrounding depression. He sorts through recent scientific research on its biochemical and genetic causes and examines social and cultural factors. Winter also dispels common Christian misunderstandings of depression and looks at how biblical characters experienced severe despair. Throughout he offers ways to help the suffering. Even in the shadow of the valley of death, there is hope for healing and deliverance. This book is a helpful guide for those who find themselves, their loved ones or those they counsel vulnerable to depression. Find here a framework both for understanding depression and for rediscovering hope.

More About When Life Goes Dark: Finding Hope in the Midst of Depression
I really enjoyed this book. Even though it is a book about depression I found it very inspirational. The cover states it is about "finding hope in the midst of depression" and I found that to be absolutely true and what the book was ultimately about. In a winsome, helpful way, Dr. Winter addresses the subject of depression, giving hope to those who feel hopeless. His use of Scripture is fair and right...and must-read for pastors and all Christians. Excellent work. Readable, concise, powerful. Offers a helpful and balanced approach for Christians who struggle with different schools of thought on counseling.
