Depression from a Christian worldview:

First, this temporary world will never bring complete happiness and satisfaction. Genesis 3:17-19 talks about the world being cursed because of sin. And Romans 8:22 talks about the whole creation groaning.

Also, depression is common to humanity, and there are many examples of Godly people being depressed and discouraged in the Bible. From Job to Moses to David to Rachel to Elijah to Hannah to Jeremiah to the Apostle Paul.

Next, the eternal world (heaven) will bring complete happiness and satisfaction for the Christian. Revelation 21:4 says “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain”
