I just heard a sad news about how a man committed suicide because "he got tired of life". In today's world, we see so many people with suicidal thoughts, depressed and out of place. Depression is a not something new in our society and The Holy Bible is an encyclopedia of knowledge that guides actions as christians and it is more common that most of us are aware of. Depression affecta millions of people, thereby affecting both christians and non-christians.
People suffering from depression experience sadness, angry, fatigue and the likes. Depression is caused by so many factors like challenges, setbacks or even psychological problems.
Dealing with Depression:
Living in a depressed state is really bad to cope but as christians we already have a guideline in the Holy Bible. The Bible teaches us to always live in Joy and happiness in Phillipians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!

Also, staying in the Word will help because there are scriptures for everything in the Bible. Emotions have a way of leading us astray but God's word stand solidly as having faith in Him is also paramount. God is not a wicked God and will not allow a circumstance that is bigger than us come close to us.
Deuteronomy 31:8
8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
