Using the construct or syndrome of depression from the DSM-5, this workshop will compare it with both biblical truth and empirical evidence to determine its true nature. Some of the major questions that will be answered are: (1) Is depression primarily a physical problem or a spiritual aspect of human nature? (2) Is there a subjective definition of depression, or is it a social construct that represents different struggles to different people? In the process, attendees will realize how psychiatric constructs are formed and how they divert our attention away from the true nature of our problems and the biblical solution to them.
