The light of Truth healed my depression
Many years ago, I suffered from severe depression for over a year and a half, which caused me to seek care in a hospital for two weeks. I sensed that the material world is not all there is to our existence, but my upbringing in a traditional Christian faith had not given me an understanding of the meaning of life. This realization drove me deeper into depression, yet it also sparked a desire to know the real purpose of existence.
As I worked through this issue with conventional medical treatment, a coworker (who became my girlfriend and eventually my wife) introduced me to Christian Science. She told me about a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and said that reading it would help me.
With her encouragement, I visited a Christian Science Reading Room. The staff welcomed me warmly and answered my questions about Christian Science and its textbook, Science and Health. My visit culminated in my purchasing my own copies of the Bible and Science and Health.
