Christianity and Depression

Workshop from The Gathering on Mental Health and the Church on March 28, 2014. Aaron Kheriaty, MD — Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Medical Ethics Program, University of California, Irvine. This workshop will look at depression from medical/psychiatric and spiritual perspectives. We will examine the effect of depression on one's spiritual life, how Christian spiritual practices can be a part of the recovery process, and how to distinguish depression from related moral or spiritual states. Each speaker represents himself or herself, not Saddleback Church.
