Everyone has spells of feeling down, but depression is more than just spending a few days feeling sad or unhappy. Depression can make you feel persistently sad and down for weeks or months at a time.
While some people believe that depression is trivial or not a genuine health problem, it's actually a real condition that affects around one in 10 people over the course of their lives. It impacts people of all genders and ages – including children.
On this episode, which will be part one of a wider discussion, we want to share our opinions and life stories on how we have dealt with the challenges of depression, and the impact of our faith.
