"Sometimes spiritual problems cause depression. At other times spiritual problems coincide with but are not caused by depression. And still other times great faith and obedience coexist with depression, in which case you continue to encourage the person in faith and hope." From "Blame It on the Brain," a book by Ed Welch.

"Don’t assume that you understand what someone means by ‘depression.’ Don’t fill in the meaning from your own experience, which may or may not be similar. Instead, listen. Allow the depressed person to fill the word depression with the meaning it has for him or her." From "Blame It on the Brain," a book by Ed Welch.

"Many psychiatric problems are whole-person problems, especially since they are all forms of suffering and many have their roots in fear and anxiety. We aspire to seek the Lord in our troubles. In some troubles, we seek the Lord and physicians." From "Blame It on the Brain," a book by Ed Welch.

"You will never find a psychiatric problem where biblical help—counsel directed to the heart—is unnecessary. At the very least, it usually indicates that the person is suffering in some way. And on the problem of suffering, Scripture is expert and needed." From "Blame It on the Brain," a book by Ed Welch.
