Speaking of Faith: The Soul in Depression

The Soul in Depression
Guests: Andrew Solomon, Parker Palmer and Anita Barrows
Speaking of Faith (American Public Media)
Host: Krista Tippet

As a society, we're increasingly aware of the many faces of depression, and we've become conversant in the language of psychological analysis of depression and medical treatment for it. But there is a growing body of literature by people who have struggled with depression and found it to be a lesson in the nature of the human soul. In this program you'll hear intimate conversations with author Andrew Solomon, Quaker activist and educator Parker Palmer, and poet and psychologist Anita Barrows on their lived and spiritually edifying experiences with depression.
