The Bible’s answer

Yes, because the best help comes from “"God, Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers the depressed."”—2 Corinthians 7:6, The Amplified Bible.

What God provides to help the discouraged

Strength. God ""revives and cheers"" you, not by evacuating every one of your issues, but rather by noting your petitions when you appeal to God for the quality to adapt. (Philippians 4:13) You can make sure that he's prepared to hear you out, for the Bible says: ""Jehovah is close to those that are broken on a fundamental level; and the individuals who are squashed in soul he spares."" (Psalm 34:18) truth be told, God can hear your call for help regardless of whether you can't articulate your sentiments.— Romans 8:26, 27.

Great illustrations. One Bible essayist appealed to God: ""From the profundities of my hopelessness I call to you."" This psalmist managed his dejection by recalling that God doesn't load us with blame. Rather, he said to God: ""If you kept a record of our transgressions, who could circumvent being denounced? In any case, you pardon us, so we should remain in wonder of you.""— Psalm 130:1, 3, 4, Good News Translation.

Expectation. Other than giving solace now, God has guaranteed to expel every one of the issues that prompt despondency. When he satisfies that guarantee, ""the previous things [including depression] won't be brought to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.""— Isaiah 65:17.

Note: While recognizing the assistance that God gives, Jehovah's Witnesses likewise look for therapeutic treatment for diseases, for example, clinical sorrow. (Check 2:17) We don't, in any case, embrace a particular therapeutic treatment; we feel that every individual should settle on his own choice on such issues.
