Grace and Depression with Robert Hirschfeld

The ChurchNext Podcast

Depression is real. It can touch anyone -- even a bishop in The Episcopal Church. Mental illness is often stigmatized in our culture and even in the Church, but it doesn't have to be. Taking the time to learn about and recognize that mental illness is a part of everyday life for many people, even those we don't suspect of suffering from it, is part of our Christian duty to recognize the dignity of God in each person.

In this episode Rob Hirschfeld shows us ways to work with depression in five short lectures:

• The Hidden Epidemic
• Experiencing Depression
• Aggression and Mindfulness
• Prayer and Self-Care
• Seeking Help

This episode will interest those looking to learn more about how to reach out to people with depression and mental illness and anyone who suspects they or a loved one may be suffering from depression.
