As of this week, there were still a few things at my office that had been "undisturbed" since my son took his life on May 13th.
I finally forced myself to go through a small stack of papers a couple of days ago. Inside that stack was an article I'd printed off on April 10th entitled, "The Depression Epidemic." The author is Dr. Dan Blazer, Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center. The article was actually first published in 2009, in Christianity Today. Blazer had some really good things to say to those suffering with this sometimes enigmatic malady (Jordan suffered from clinical depression. I was diagnosed a number of years ago.)Blazer, up front, differentiates "clinical depression" from "the everyday blues" i.e. "normal depression." If you, or someone you know, deals with what you may consider clinical depression, please get help.
