American society has shifted significantly in the last few decades - markedly, Americans’ friendship circles are smaller than ever before, and depression seems to be a constant, nagging problem. Noted psychiatrist and author, Dr. David Carreon, discusses the reasons behind depression and how people are more atomized and individualized than ever. This individuality can result in increased isolation and be a major contributing factor to depression. He also talks about the rising rates of anxiety and depression disorders, as well as disturbing upward trends in suicides nationwide. How could a Biblical vision of eternity help our culture? At the heart of it all, the driving factor behind depression is the fallen state of this sinful world. David helps us recognize the red flags and solutions for depression.
