I came into Scientology about 6 years ago. I was a fairly stable person but I had periods of "depression." I saw all the "educated" people on the subject, and all they did was create lots of confusion for me. Then I found Scientology and after 6 hours of pastoral counseling this "depression" that had plagued me for years was gone. It has been 6 years and has not returned. Scientology gave me back my life, and that is priceless.
