Author Dr. Gregory Jantz can personally relate to those who suffer from depression. Not only is he founder of the Center: A Place of Hope, a clinic for treating depression and other mental health challenges, but he has also experienced depression himself.
At one time, he struggled to get out of bed in the morning, and life seemed dull and hopeless. He worked too much, ate poorly, adopted a sedentary lifestyle, and struggled with caffeine addiction, insomnia, and low spiritual interest.
Eventually, he exhausted himself to the point of intervention, which motivated him to develop healthier habits: shortened workdays, regular walks, improved sleep patterns, a nutritious diet, and time for prayer and reflection.
Dr. Jantz is with us on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Finding Hope for Lasting Relief from Depression” to share how he – and you – can progress from depressed to healthy through faith, the support of friends and family, and proper medical care if necessary.
