John 16:27 “No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.” We all want to love and to be loved.  Depression is the result of not feeling loved and many people suffer from the insecurity felt when love appears nonexistent.  No Christian should allow him/her self to be in the desperate mental state of feeling unloved.  Whenever that feeling arises and we see it in a person, we are obligated to help that person realize the wonderful truths of this passage.
