Does depression need to be cured?

[_Faith_]

I get depressed all the time and sometimes I even come home from school and go to my room and cry. All of my friends never suffer from depression. I feel awful all the time because my house is old and falling apart and my dad is mean. It never ever ends.
My sister used to have a phyciatrist, but we couldn't afford to pay him. I go to the Bible to find solice; but I can't find any passage about depression. What do you think I should do?

thank you for your time

here is psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

An example of depression in the bible is Job. My youth leader pointed me to that, because even though Job was depressed, in the end he turned it all over to God and God helped him and blessed him.

I also encourage you to seek help, just as HoneyComb Son said

Your local hospital should admit you for free, or a local clinic.

Best,

I bet you're not the only one of your friends suffering from depression. It's very common in your age group, and it's also very common for people to keep it a secret.

For myself, I find that keeping busy helps my mood. Exercise can natural endorphins that can improve your mood. Doing activities that you love can not only take your mind off your problems, but give you something to feel good about. Maybe you can find some outlet, like art, or writing, or dance, that will allow you a way of expressing your feelings, and creating something new?
