About this listen
Although he holds a doctorate in depression, author Greg L. Russ chose to create this audiobook from a patient's point of view. Having suffered five clinical bouts, Russ offers a graphic look inside the dark abyss while chronicling the insights he learned when his depression intersected God's mercy.
The audiobook extends an invitation to families, friends, churches, and their pastors to become part of the comforting process. Enlightening and encouraging, Help! Someone I Love Is Depressed will speak to the church, medical and counseling professionals, military, and the general public.

Story
Forgive and forget. It should be easy to do—so why don’t we do it? The father who wasn’t always there for us. The mother who punished us. The spouse who betrayed us. The children who will leave us behind. Whoever and whatever the source of hurt, there is always a path to forgiveness. But too often, instead of forgiving, too many of us live with resentments and grudges that keep us stuck, robbing us of joy, peace, and purpose.

Do you want to be a better leader? Raise the threshold of your pain. Do you want your church to grow or your business to reach higher goals? Reluctance to face pain is your greatest limitation. There is no growth without change, no change without loss, and no loss without pain. Bottom line: if you're not hurting, you're not leading. But this book is not a theological treatise on pain. Rather in Leadership Pain, Samuel Chand - best-selling author recognized as "the leader's leader" - provides a concrete, practical understanding of the pain we experience.

Do you love yourself? Most people have never even asked themselves that question, let alone know how to answer it. This is because we live under a modern plague, where masses struggle to love themselves as God loves them. Very few understand how to love themselves in a healthy way and have no tools to break free from the resistance that blocks them. Jesus said that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

May be a good read, IF you're a Baptist
I made it to chapter three, to be fair. There was entirely too much focus on religious views and so much commentary about how judgemental the author's church peers are against mental illness that all this book did is reinforce my frustration about organized religion.
I'll also note that it is peculiar how this book has a five start rating. At the time of my review there was only one two star review for this book.
