I do not mean to challenge your beliefs in anyway, but for me I hesitate to accept that depression is a really a spiritual problem as much as an emotional and biochemical problem. None of us has all the answers in this regard.

As an Evangelical Christian I use all of my spiritual resources in my battle with depression. Prayer and counseling certainly seem to hep. I believe we can pray for healing from depression as well as any other physical disease or affliction. Also their seem to have been bouts of depression among people through out the Bible. The prophet Jeremiah was even known as the weeping profit. Job, David, and many of the prophets for that matter sound very depressed at times. I am hesitant to blame the person who ill for their illness.
