www.arizonachristiancounseling.com | Tres Adames, a Christian counselor in Phoenix, AZ, briefly discusses the cause of depression and how to overcome it. What causes depression? Depression can be caused by a lot of things. In some cases there may be a biological reason why someone is depressed. But in many cases, depression results from negative thinking patterns. Depression can be a distressing thing if you are a person of faith. You may be thinking, "If I'm a Christian, I am supposed to be full of hope and joy - how come I feel this way?" You are not alone, and your depression does not negate your faith. You can find healing with God's help and directive. How can I change? Feelings come from thoughts and thoughts emerge from beliefs. Negative thoughts emerge from parts of us that hold false beliefs that are contrary to what we believe. Counseling will help you address these negative thought patterns that are causing you to feel downcast. If you are interested in counseling, contact Tres at: www.arizonachristiancounseling.com
