Good day rcom2025! I do believe that God can heal depression. Matthew 11:28-30 says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." God along with the Bible is the most powerful resource for combating depression. The Bible provides many enlightenment and encouragement verses and actions for depressing situations. I do feel depress most of the time, and still learning how to handle it. God loves us and He wants to fill us with joy, peace, fulfillment and so much more. Walk with Him in your life. I hope I encourage you in this simple way. God bless you!

Well i wish he did. I do have faith in him but im losing that fauth because all i've been having is bad news and it really doesnt help.. sorry if this is so negative but it's just how i feel right now... depression is something that's permenantly temporary... it comes and it goes, but it will definatelky come back :P

I am in the same boat that you are. Nothing seems to be going right for me and I keep going deeper and deeper into depression. I keep praying that he will intervene and help me overcome it.

God works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform! Its important that you work along with Him if you are seriously needing help. Believe that you will be healed, but not to sit back,relax, and do nothing. Take control of your healing, and God will help. In the end it will be both you and God, working together, that will complete your cure! Begin right now! God Knows you can do it!

Yes, I believe so. If you have no one to turn to, if you think that the world has turn its back on you, where do you turn to? Me, I just stop for a while, think of the situation that has happen and say a prayer and ask for guidance. After a while, I felt that the heaviness in my heart is gone.

from my opinion definetly god can cure depression and not only that he will teach how to overcome depression. example as i am christian i had saw with my own eyes many miracle even cancer and aids has been heal so i think this is a small thing for god the only thing is to believe that he can cure the depression and that minute you will be heal.

I think God is ABLE to cure depression but I think He helps us go through our life issues so that we can learn and be strong, then turn around and help others going through the same things we're going through. The only tough part is taking the step to get help and really work hard on our way of thinking/character development. Sometimes our minds holds us back from recovering or dealing with our depression in a positive way. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder and am on medication which has helped me a lot over the past 6 years. I think God uses doctors and counselors to help us to recover/cope. I literally forced myself to change my thinking habits and it's a long process, but is worth it. I didn't feel myself improving, and still don't, but as I look back I realise that I have improved big time, upon comparing the state of mind I was in 6 years ago (just after the birth of my 2nd child) and the state of mind I'm in now. I hope that helps. :-)
