In this brief YouTube segment, the speakers explain that the number one symptom of depression is rumination – a pathological, obsessive focus on one's pain and problems. They argue that constantly thinking about and talking about one's problems not only reflects rumination but also causes the problems to grow, highlighting the detrimental cycle of excessive self‑focus.
This is the number one symptom of your depression. Watch this.
Never considered that thinking about your problems all the time and talking about your problems all the time literally make the problems grow.
That's right. I mean, it's the number one symptom of depression is what they call rumination, this pathological obsessing over your pain.
The key isn't to confess your issue, but to solve it through the Word of God. And if you've got depression, there's joy in the Lord. And if you're anxious, you've got Philippians 4:6-7. It says, don't be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, through Jesus Christ come and refortify your mind. The key to overcoming depression and overcoming issues of the world is finding the scriptures that contest that and standing on it. If you believe those things, I want you to subscribe and share this blessing with a friend.
