What is the meaning of spiritual depression?
2nd August 2005
This is the question someone asked recently in a search that brought them to this site via my post on depression and spiritual healing. That started me wondering. Why is this term used? Apparently, the term spiritual depression is used to distinguish it from other forms of depression. But is there really a difference between, biological depression, psychological depression and spiritual depression?
Presumably spiritual depression has spiritual roots and therefore spiritual remedies. But is it essentially different from psychological or biological depression? In other words, are spiritual depression caused primarily by spiritual sources which can only be dealth with spiritually? Some who think this way quote from, especially the Psalms in support of the premise that some form of depression is purely spiritual in nature and can only be dealt with spiritually. That may well be true.
