How Can I Succeed in College While Having Depression?

My dear friend. You do not have to live with depression as a student in college or otherwise.

I would recommend the book Jesus Calling if you’re interested in reading a book about faith. Jesus Calling is a daily devotional that includes inspired messages from God.
