Help! My Teen Is Depressed

If your teen is battling depression, you may be feeling helpless and hopeless. Perhaps you're slowly coming to the realization that you have no idea how to rescue your child from the darkness he or she is in. Christine Chappell knows from experience that there are no quick and easy solutions, but here she provides biblical wisdom and encouragement to offer hope for the hopeless teen and help for the helpless caregiver.

Christine Chappell is a wife, mother of three, and the author of Midnight Mercies: Walking with God through Depression in Motherhood, Postpartum Depression: Hope for a Hard Season, Help! My Teen is Depressed, Help! I've Been Diagnosed with a Mental Disorder, and Clean Home, Messy Heart: Promises of Renewal, Hope, and Change for Overwhelmed Moms. Her writing has been featured at websites such as Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, Risen Motherhood, and other Christian platforms.

In addition to her writing ministry, she works for the Institute of Biblical Counseling & Discipleship as the organization's Podcast Host. Christine has completed certificates in Biblical Counseling through IBCD and is certified by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC). She also serves as a Council Member for the Biblical Counseling Coalition.

Christine's heart for ministry stems from being previously treated for bipolar disorder II, depression, panic attacks, disordered eating, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors. By God's sovereign design, these experiences fuel the compassion and sympathy that motivates her ministry work.

Christine and her husband, Brett, were married in 2003 and currently reside in South Carolina with their three children. They are active members of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Easley.
