It makes no sense, right?
Remember the Pastor from Arizona?
I mean, how does it happen?
Is there anyone on here that has been through that and are now on the other side of through?
Was it medicine?
Was it prayer, fasting, and medicine?
Was it a shaking of oneself and then "presto" no more sadness?

Prayer, fasting, faith, and the mercy of God.
As for 'how can it be?' David was often depressed. But God brought him out.
Depression is a normal human experience. We make it into something that consumes all things, giving it more power than it has.
It's okay to feel however you feel, but we should keep in mind that God's reality is superior to our fleeting, temporary perceptions.
