Next up is Dr. GARY H. LOVEJOY, Ph.D,Author of "Light on the Fringe: Finding Light in the Darkness of Depression.”

He is talking about providing seminars for the average person itlcommunications.com

He is talking about depression and the bible and God. He says Job had depression...lol, Jesse says belief in God gives you faith to endure.

Jesse asks what the purpose of depression is. Dr. Lovejoy says depression is to psychological self as pain is to the body. It is is warning that something is wrong. Jesse asks is the pain of depression a spiritual pain? Dr. L says that is the case sometimes.

He says that 2 x as many women experience depression than men. And weirdly married women are more depressed than unmarried women. He says that one reason is that women are more likely to talk about it. Jesse says that he heard that churchgoing married men and women are happier than unmarried men and women. Dr. J agrees.

Wow, Dr. L says that socialism increases depression, because you have the feeling of not having control. Good for him for bringing that into it.
