Spiritual Desolation, The Dark Night & Depression

• What is spiritual desolation and what are its causes? How does a person work through spiritual desolation?
• What are characteristics of the dark night of the soul and how is this experience different from the spiritual desolation?
• What is depression? What are the symptoms and causes of depression? What are some treatments for depression?
• What is the relationship between desolation & depression?
• How can a spiritual director or another helping person, help someone who is desolate, depressed, and/or experiencing the dark night?
