What to do when you're depressed

Why do I get depressed at Christmas, the most joyous time of the year? Why can't I enjoy my vacation? Why do I get depressed at weddings, anniversaries, and parties? George Benson helps us understand why certain things depress us; he helps us to understand the problems of others; in short, he helps us to understand ourselves. And this is the key to overcoming depression. The author has combined the insights of psychoanalysis and the resources of the Christian faith with its assurance that God identifies with us, forgives our guilt, and nourishes us in the hope of life with God. - Back cover.
