Abstract
|
|
|
|
This paper has presented an overview of the literature concerning the relationship between spirituality and depression. Although there are some limitations in the methodology and interpretation of the study findings, the overall conclusion is that spirituality can be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of depression. The actual mechanisms through which the benefits of spirituality are acquired remain uncleared. Thus, continuing research in this area should be required. In addition, some points of clinical applications of religion and spirituality to depressive patient care are introduced. The author hopes that this paper will provide a useful foundation for models of informed spiritual care for patients with depression.
