Depression is the most common mental disorder.
It is familiar to about 30% of adult men and women. And kids don’t get depressed. Although they can grieve and be sad. Why is that? Because they have a “good relationship” with life itself, the experience of being is not disturbed, according to the existential psychotherapist Alfried Lenglet. Depression occurs when a person is unable to experience the value of life. Lenglet contrasts the frozen state of depression with sadness, which is an active experience. Sadness helps move depression off the dead center and overcome it. Collected under one cover are three articles on different aspects of psychotherapy for depression.
