Depression is a serious disorder.

If you are suffering with depression, then we have a lot in common! As a matter of fact, I personally endured 30-plus years of chronic depression with at least two episodes of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) which were accompanied by suicidal thoughts.

I now view my life’s journey through the darkness of depression as a blessing in disguise. It put me on a path that caused me to search for an answer to what causes depression and how to heal it and, along the way, I discovered some amazing things that I might not otherwise have ever known. I possess a love of life and appreciation for simple things that may not have occurred if I had not suffered for so long.

I had a burning desire to understand:

• why unfortunate things happen to well meaning people…
• why I always felt so empty inside…
• why it felt as though nothing would ever improve
• why other people couldn’t understand what was wrong with me
• why it felt as nothing really mattered
• why some people seemed to always live a charmed life while I was always suffering

I spent many years studying self-help books, tapes, and every natural healing modality to which I had access. After years of struggle I finally realized that healing depression isn’t difficult if you understand the true cause of depression. I have been completely depression free for more than 7 years now.

This blog is dedicated to all who suffer from depression and who have a sincere desire to live a better quality life. Since I don’t believe there is only “one way” to solve any problem, I intend to present many alternative approaches to healing depression on this website.
