Aaron Kheriaty, "Depression and Suicide - A Catholic Perspective," National Catholic Register.
Catholic psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty, author of The Catholic Guide to Depression, cites the example of Robin Williams to remind us that depression can strike "anyone, of any temperament and personality." The tragedy of depression, he writes, is that it distorts our thinking, making us unable to see ourselves as others see us and as God sees us. He also encourages Catholics to take a holistic approach to depression - one that integrates medicine, theology, and psychology - in order to assist those who suffer.
