Lifting the Cloud of DEPRESSION - Donald D Schroeder - November-December 1984

Donald D Schroeder

Are you needlessly experiencing hopelessness and despair? It is time you understood the reasons for this all-too-common human affliction! It is a tragic but real fact of life. Mental depression has run like a heavy dark thread throughout the fabric of human history. Men and women, the great and small, have suffered periods of "the gray menace" dark emotions that shrouded their lives in feelings of utter despair, hopelessness and helplessness. Health officials say it is increasing, due to rapidly changing social conditions and values. Mental depression is one of humanity's most common illnesses, taking a tremendous toll on marriages, productivity, human growth and happiness. It knows no class barriers. It afflicts rich and poor alike. And though it rises abruptly in incidence with adolescent years, it is also becoming a growing problem in younger children, leading to increasingly more youthful suicides. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
