Chonda Pierce is a comedian who struggled for years with clinical depression as a result of several grief issues in her life. As a Christian, she learned that God doesn’t protect us from suffering and illness, but He gives us the grace to help deal with the trials and tribulations that come our way. God uses the medical profession and medicine to help in the healing process. Chonda wrote a hope-filled book, “Laughing in the Dark: A Comedian’s Journey through Depression.” Her testimony is available on the Internet through a google search.
