“Something which can help a person who is depressed is work, interest in life. The Garden, plants, flowers, trees, the countryside, a walk in the open air – all these things tear a person away from a state of inactivity and wake other interests. They act like medicines. To occupy oneself with the arts, with music and so on, is very beneficial. The thing that I place top of the list, however, is interest in the Church, in reading Holy Scripture and attending services. As you study the words of God you are cured without being aware of it. In our Church a cure is to be found through love for God and prayer, provided this is done with all the heart.” – Saint Porphyrios
