All things work together . . . Anafranil helped, but depression was an ongoing problem. Later, Prozac, and then Paxil, gave her more relief. She attributes her ongoing recovery to spending more time reading her Bible, praying, spending time with fellow Christians who offer her support, helping others in need, which turned her focus outward toward others, expressing her feelings in song, and medication. But I can see glimpses of cognitive behavior therapy in her life story.
Recovery is an ongoing process.
I believe very much that cognitive behavior therapy and medication are important to that process. But I believe that attention to our spiritual needs is also important. This is true with any illness, rather it is a disease of the brain or another part of the body. Heart to Heart can also be used as a devotional book since it includes many Bible verses and praise songs. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
