Chris.
All of us face times of sorrow in our lives. This is part of life. In fact there are times when we need sorrow to deal with painful and difficult events in our lives. For the True Believer, however, whatever the result of the “episode” we may go through our sorrow will be turned into Joy by the Lord. This does not include people who battle with depression and continuing negative thoughts, these people need the acceptance and love of the True Believers first and then (maybe) some ease of their pain through medical means
