It is my personal opinion that learning how to live life in a good mood—one step at time includes:
Step One Professional medical treatment
Step Two Personal change
Step Three Personal relationship with God

As my ministry to you I am proving the following links to authors, resources and website that have been an encouragement to me. I have categorized them into three sections or “steps.”

Step One: Professional Medical Treatment

Since I am not a mental health professional, medical doctor or counselor I cannot and I do not diagnose or treat mood struggles regardless of the source. Therefore, consult a physician, psychiatrist, mental health professional or dial 911 if you are having any type of mood struggles.
