The October 2005 Ensign had an article by Elder Morrison entitled
In the last year two LDS Professionals – A Family Medical Doctor and a Counselor have talked about this article. The Doctor said this was the most well written article on mental illness (and depression) that he had ever seen in a church magazine.
If you or your family has been touched by any form of mental illness (including depression) this is an excellent article – giving a gospel perspective of what this disease is and isn’t.
If your family has not been affected by mental illness – this article will be an excellent education for you about an illness that can be difficult to understand.
