Have you heard any good dhamma talks regarding depression?
I looked on dharmaseed, and I get only four hits for the keyword "depression".
I remember Ajahn Brahm has a couple, and I have already listened to them, so I'm looking for talks from other teachers.
Many thanks in advance for any links to talks you can give me.

Hi James,
I haven't listened to it, but there's a talk on depression from Ajahn Amaro (who's the abbot of Amaravati Monastery UK) and I usually find his talks helpful.

How did you get only four? With a Google site search you should get over 3,000. Just go to Google and paste in:James the Giant wrote:I looked on dharmaseed, and I get only four hits for the keyword "depression".

Actually no, that didn't work. There were indeed about 3000 results, but they were all for the same 4 talks.
Hmmm...

Some of us have been trying to assemble a sort of resources thread: Tools for managing depression
It's a bit thin, but there might be something useful in there - and it would be wonderful if you could add anything useful that you find.
