I have depression and I was just curious if there’s a Bible study out there preferably Catholic or a good non-Catholic one for those who suffer from depression?

Or, if you have any personal suggestions of passages or Psalms that have helped you all 🙂

I don’t have any recommendations for a good Bible study, but what I can tell you about the Psalms is that they should all be read frequently. I do not find it coincidental that the Psalms form the core prayer of the Divine Office. Fr. Matthew Kelty, OCSO, a Trappist monk, once said that the Psalms express the inexpressible in mankind, and I believe this is so. I believe if you start reading the Psalms for yourself on a regular basis then you’ll eventually find words, verses, and whole Psalms which speak to you in your own way.

As leader of a bible study and a long time depressive- i’ve never encountered a bible study that focuses on depression.Rest and reside in His word . Bathe in it l- let it anoint you and surrender all that sadness to the Lord.
Having said that find a study that is welcoming- non judgmental-open and happy!Some leaders are without a sense of humor and take themselves and scripture way to seriously. There is much humor in the bible- most of it coming from the human condition(which hasn’t changed for thousands of years)Many in the books themselves. Most of all’Be not afraid"!
Have confidence that the God who created us,loved us, died for us and has victory for us wants us to be happy- never doubt that! He loves us so we know that we are worthy of happiness because of His love- be strong hold on to Him and His word!
Peace and Good Luck!👍
