Depression...

Love to read and now working through a book called:  Lost Connections by Johann Hari.    It explores what he calls the real causes of depression and the unexpected solutions.
Causes - Disconnection from:

• Meaningful work
• Other people
• Meaningful values
• Childhood trauma
• Status and respect
• The natural world
• A hopeful or secure future

Solution or Reconnection:

• To other people
• Social prescribing
• To meaningful work
• To sympathetic joy, and overcoming the addiction to self
• Acknowledging and overcoming childhood trauma
• Restoring the future 

A good read worth your time.  I have been thinking a lot about all of the gun debate and the information in this book could speak to why a young man could do what he did when he shot 17 high school students. Let's keep on reach for peace and purpose.  Blessings...
