Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About

Everyone knows someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or another form of mental illness, but a stigma around mental health remains, especially in the church. Ryan Casey Waller, pastor, therapist, and cosufferer, has experienced firsthand the jarring dissonance of wrestling with mental health while trying to maintain a vibrant Christian faith. It can be a discouraging, lonely battle. But it doesn't have to be. In this book, Waller emphasizes that mental health issues are not a symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith; rather, suffering is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward restoration. Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep compassion, Waller invites readers to see why we need conversations in the church about mental health and how to have them, and discover why seeking knowledge about one's self is critical to growing deeper in relationship with God.
