Hope exists. Depression is not a life sentence. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kathy Knochel and Ted Witzig Jr. chart the course for walking through depression to the other side.

Show notes:

There are different kinds of depression. Treatments can vary. However, the path through depression typically has three benchmarks. The first is changing behavior. The second is a shift in thinking. The third is an improved mood.

1. Behavior activation:

· Physical activity: moving the body.

· Social interaction: engaging with people.

· Meaningful activities: engage in small, doable things in a consistent manner to develop a sense of competency.

2. Engage thinking through counseling:

· Challenge negative self-talk through healthy truth based in Scripture.

· Medicine (in some cases) can be beneficial in helping the mind think well and engage the therapeutic treatment.

3. Positive mood shifts follow improved thinking.
