There are many possible causes of depression. Christian psychologist Archibald Hart describes four types of depression: psychotic, endogenous, neurotic, and reactive.
Psychotic depression is a very serious mental illness, requiring medical treatment, often long-term. Endogenous depression is connected with an imbalance in brain chemistry and is treated with medication that sets right the imbalances. I once counselled a pastor who suffered severe depression and referred him for medical treatment. After a few weeks, he recovered remarkably and told me he had changed his sceptical view of medical treatment for depression. Neurotic depression is connected with personality issues that trigger learned psychological reactions. In stress or anxiety, such a person can become depressed as a way of coping or reacting. Treatment includes counselling and therapy with appropriate medication. Reactive depression is the result of one's personal and social circumstances. Most of us become sad or depressed when things go wrong, when we are disappointed or face failure. When the stressful circumstance is removed, the depression lifts. For example, a person waiting for laboratory tests to confirm if he is suffering from a serious medical condition will become and remain depressed. But when informed that the lab results are normal and there is nothing to worry about, he quickly returns to his old self. Reactive depression is also helped by counselling.
But there is also a kind of depression that can best be termed "spiritual depression". This may be due to the devil's attacks on one's thoughts and moods. It could also be due to spiritual apathy and disobedience. The solution, by definition, has to be spiritual.
Old age brings with it a higher risk of depression. Declining health, bereavement, loneliness, financial concerns, impending death, and regrets may all come together to bring about depression. The senior may feel a loss of energy, appetite, and interest in people and events. Insomnia, negative thoughts and attitudes, and problems remembering and paying attention may make things worse. Also, feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may break a person down.
For me, such old age feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may creep in once in a while, but lasted temporary. There are many other life events to effectively replace them, and I 'quickly return to my old self'. My other concerns like declining health and financial problems need to be addressed in the not too far future - a kind of reactive depression I believe most elderly would have. Especially those who are branded under the 'UFO' category. Being Ugly, Fat, and Old may normally means no job at the remaining years. For those who are still single, it too, adds extra embarrassment when meeting peers who are already successful grandparents. Remaining 'faceless' is the better option, to minimise the painful failure to perform in life. To the world, we are effectively rotten and cheap, kept wasting away in the shelf. It will just be a matter of time before becoming a fading memory, to nobody's regret.

If so, what help have you sought and what more can you do?
Some may feel depressed and socially marginalised with advancing years. Anglican priest Michael Butler and psychotherapist Ann Orbach describe what it's like:
"Getting old may feel like acting in a play where the rest of the cast is new and most of the props have changed. There is something familiar about the plot, but we have smaller parts to play, with a lot of time waiting in the wings before making a final bow. For many people, the worst fear is to be 'unwept, unhonoured and unsung', but serenity comes through managing not to mind."
The psalmist asks himself, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?" (Psalm 42:11). He answers his own question with what he has learned about God - that God is trustworthy and full of love for us. He therefore tells himself, "Put your hope in God" (Psalm 42:11).
We may get depressed when we look at ourselves and our circumstances, but when we lift our eyes and thoughts to God, we will see another perspective and receive comfort, courage, and strength. The "twilight time", writes Joan Chittister, "has its own tasks, its burdens, its subtle gifts to give us."
Besides seeking medical help, confiding in others or joining a support group, and taking common sense measures like having good meals and adequate exercise, we must turn ultimately to Christ, who gives us peace.

A man with sadness written all over his face once entered a stage coach. Inside was a lady who was reading a hymn book and humming a tune. Looking at the man, she asked if he knew the hymn. The man looked at her with great sorrow and said, "Madam, I am the poor unhappy man who wrote that hymn many years ago, and I would give a thousand worlds, if I had them, to enjoy the feelings I had then."

That man was Robert Robertson, who in 1758 wrote the beautiful and inspiring hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". How was it possible for a man who wrote such soul-stirring verse to become so depressed? He is not alone, for there are so many others like him. Christians too can suffer from depression.
William Cowper, one of the great English poets in the 18th century, wrote many wonderful Christian hymns that are still sung today - hymns like "God Moves in Mysterious Ways" and "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood". Yet he suffered frequently from severe depression and had to be cared for by friends. There were times he even questioned whether he was saved.

People like Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon were also known to have suffered from lifelong depression. Spurgeon, the great preacher of the 19th century, wrote honestly about his regular struggles with depression:
Knowing by most painful experience what deep depression of spirit means, being visited therewith at seasons by no means few or far between, I thought it might be consolatory to some of my brethren if I gave my thought thereon, that younger men might not fancy that some strange thing had happened to them when they became for a season possessed my melancholy; and that sadder men might know that one upon whom the sun has shone right joyously did not always walk in the light.

Psychotic depression refers to a type of depression where the sufferer can't function normally and loses touch with reality. This type of depression may be referred to as psychotic major depression or major depression with psychotic features. Neurotic depression, on the other hand, doesn't involve psychosis and as a result is a long-lasting, low-level depression. [3]

PHOTO: Reactive depression is the result of one's personal and social circumstances. Most of us become sad or depressed when things go wrong, when we are disappointed or face failure. When the stressful circumstance is removed, the depression lifts.

But there is also a kind of depression that can best be termed "spiritual depression". [101] This may be due to the devil's attacks on one's thoughts and moods. It could also be due to spiritual apathy and disobedience. The solution, by definition, has to be spiritual.

Old age brings with it a higher risk of depression. Declining health, bereavement, loneliness, financial concerns, impending death, and regrets may all come together to bring about depression. The senior may feel a loss of energy, appetite, and interest in people and events. Insomnia, negative thoughts and attitudes, and problems remembering and paying attention may make things worse. Also, feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may break a person down.

For me, such old age feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may creep in once in a while, but lasted temporary. There are many other life events to effectively replace them, and I 'quickly return to my old self'. My other concerns like declining health and financial problems need to be addressed in the not too far future - a kind of reactive depression I believe most elderly would have. Especially those who are branded under the 'UFO' category. Being Ugly, Fat, and Old may normally means no job at the remaining years. For those who are still single, it too, adds extra embarrassment when meeting peers who are already successful grandparents. Remaining 'faceless' is the better option, to minimise the painful failure to perform in life. To the world, we are effectively rotten and cheap, kept wasting away in the shelf. It will just be a matter of time before becoming a fading memory, to nobody's regret.

If so, what help have you sought and what more can you do? [1]
Some may feel depressed and socially marginalised with advancing years. Anglican priest Michael Butler and psychotherapist Ann Orbach describe what it's like:
"Getting old may feel like acting in a play where the rest of the cast is new and most of the props have changed. There is something familiar about the plot, but we have smaller parts to play, with a lot of time waiting in the wings before making a final bow. For many people, the worst fear is to be 'unwept, unhonoured and unsung', but serenity comes through managing not to mind." [102]

The psalmist asks himself, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?" (Psalm 42:11). He answers his own question with what he has learned about God - that God is trustworthy and full of love for us. He therefore tells himself, "Put your hope in God" (Psalm 42:11).

We may get depressed when we look at ourselves and our circumstances, but when we lift our eyes and thoughts to God, we will see another perspective and receive comfort, courage, and strength. The "twilight time", writes Joan Chittister, "has its own tasks, its burdens, its subtle gifts to give us." [103]

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, we learn that there are many possible causes of depression. Christian psychologist Archibald Hart describes four types of depression: psychotic, endogenous, neurotic, and reactive.
Psychotic depression is a very serious mental illness, requiring medical treatment, often long-term.
Endogenous depression is connected with an imbalance in brain chemistry and is treated with medication that sets right the imbalances.
Neurotic depression is connected with personality issues that trigger learned psychological reactions. In stress or anxiety, such a person can become depressed as a way of coping or reacting. Treatment includes counselling and therapy with appropriate medication.
Reactive depression is the result of one's personal and social circumstances. Most of us become sad or depressed when things go wrong, when we are disappointed or face failure. When the stressful circumstance is removed, the depression lifts.
But there is also a kind of depression that can best be termed ‘spiritual depression’. This may be due to the devil's attacks on one's thoughts and moods. It could also be due to spiritual apathy and disobedience. The solution, by definition, has to be spiritual.
Lord help us, especially the old age because it brings with it a higher risk of depression. Declining health, bereavement, loneliness, financial concerns, impending death, and regrets may all come together to bring about depression. The senior may feel a loss of energy, appetite, and interest in people and events. Insomnia, negative thoughts and attitudes, and problems remembering and paying attention may make things worse. Also, feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may break a person down.
I pray for your help to overcome my feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness, which may creep in once in a while, but lasted temporary. Lord, I pray also for help with other concerns like declining health and financial problems which need to be addressed. It is a kind of reactive depression I believe most elderly would have. We pray that we can manage not to mind that it will just be a matter of time before becoming a fading memory, to nobody's regret.
Lord, give us the serenity that comes through managing not to mind our worst fear to be ‘unwept, unhonoured and unsung’.
The psalmist asks himself, ‘Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?’ Help us to answer the question like what he has learned about God. God is trustworthy and full of love for us. We therefore want to tell ourselves, ‘Put your hope in God’.
Help us whenever we get depressed as we look at ourselves and our circumstances, to lift our eyes and thoughts to God. Help us to see another perspective and receive comfort, courage, and strength.
We pray that besides seeking medical help, confiding in others or joining a support group, and taking common sense measures like having good meals and adequate exercise, we must turn ultimately to Christ, who gives us peace.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"

Psychotic depression is a very serious mental illness, requiring medical treatment, often long-term.
Endogenous depression is connected with an imbalance in brain chemistry and is treated with medication that sets right the imbalances.
Neurotic depression is connected with personality issues that trigger learned psychological reactions. In stress or anxiety, such a person can become depressed as a way of coping or reacting. Treatment includes counselling and therapy with appropriate medication.
Reactive depression is the result of one's personal and social circumstances. Most of us become sad or depressed when things go wrong, when we are disappointed or face failure. When the stressful circumstance is removed, the depression lifts.
But there is also a kind of depression that can best be termed ‘spiritual depression’. This may be due to the devil's attacks on one's thoughts and moods. It could also be due to spiritual apathy and disobedience. The solution, by definition, has to be spiritual.
Lord help us, especially the old age because it brings with it a higher risk of depression. Declining health, bereavement, loneliness, financial concerns, impending death, and regrets may all come together to bring about depression. The senior may feel a loss of energy, appetite, and interest in people and events. Insomnia, negative thoughts and attitudes, and problems remembering and paying attention may make things worse. Also, feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness may break a person down.
I pray for your help to overcome my feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, and hopelessness, which may creep in once in a while, but lasted temporary. Lord, I pray also for help with other concerns like declining health and financial problems which need to be addressed. It is a kind of reactive depression I believe most elderly would have. We pray that we can manage not to mind that it will just be a matter of time before becoming a fading memory, to nobody's regret.
Lord, give us the serenity that comes through managing not to mind our worst fear to be ‘unwept, unhonoured and unsung’.
The psalmist asks himself, ‘Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?’ Help us to answer the question like what he has learned about God. God is trustworthy and full of love for us. We therefore want to tell ourselves, ‘Put your hope in God’.
Help us whenever we get depressed as we look at ourselves and our circumstances, to lift our eyes and thoughts to God. Help us to see another perspective and receive comfort, courage, and strength.
We pray that besides seeking medical help, confiding in others or joining a support group, and taking common sense measures like having good meals and adequate exercise, we must turn ultimately to Christ, who gives us peace.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
