Sorry, but I'm not asking about the conditions of your real estate market but of your health. Here are just a few facts I found from http://www.upliftprogram.com/depression_stats.html. I personally know many people currently taking medication for this disease and it's very troublesome.

Depression Statistics

1. Depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults or about 9.5% of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. This includes major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorder. 
2. Everyone, will at some time in their life be affected by depression -- their own or someone else's, according to Australian Government statistics. (Depression statistics in Australia are comparable to those of the US and UK.)
3. Pre-schoolers are the fastest-growing market for antidepressants. At least four percent of preschoolers -- over a million -- are clinically depressed.

4. The rate of increase of depression among children is an astounding 23% p.a. 
5. 15% of the population of most developed countries suffers severe depression. 
6. 30% of women are depressed. Men's figures were previously thought to be half that of women, but new estimates are higher. 
7. 54% of people believe depression is a personal weakness.
8. 41% of depressed women are too embarrassed to seek help. 
9. 80% of depressed people are not currently having any treatment. 
10. 92% of depressed African-American males do not seek treatment

Do these numbers jump out at anybody else?

It is my belief that modern medicine although making great strides in discovering the cause in our physical bodies can't address the real roots of this problem. Modern medicines do wonderful things to help the neurotransmitters in our brains that are not functioning properly. There is a man we have discovered named Henry Wright who is doing amazing things in his ministry because he attacks the roots of diseases that are spiritual roots. He wrote a book called A More Excellent Way.
In this book you'll find many diseases that come from spiritual roots. Depression according to his writings is rooted in Lack of Self-Esteem, self rejection, self-hatred and guilt and are very damaging to the human spirit. There are so many causes of these problems that space doesn't permit me to even scratch the surface. My main goal with this post is that someone will actually delve into the information I've given here and that you will be set free from these shackles and bonds. I happen to know a little bit about depression. It is rampant in my family. I am not afflicted myself because I've addressed the painful roots, dug them out and destroyed them. You can too! It is not easy, but it is so rewarding at the other end of it.

I pray for you in general, contact me if you like and I'll pray for you personally. Let's get off these meds that just mask the real problem and be well in Jesus' name.

Psalm 147:3 - He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
