Can Jesus relate to our experience of Depression?

Ever since I found out Rick would be speaking on faith and depression I’ve been wondering: can Jesus relate to our experience of depression? Or maybe the question should be, how does Jesus relate to it? Not so much merely getting the “blues,” but the needing medication kind of imbalance. The Bible speaks of him being able to relate to our weaknesses in every way–that he was fully human–and yet that he also never sinned in those states. Did Jesus have a “perfect” body that never betrayed him with a worrisome heart murmor or slighltly off brain chemistry? Something tells me he experienced achne like the rest of us. But our emotions are essentially directly correlated to chemical changes in the body, so how far did his chemistry swing? I fully appreciate Rick’s anger toward the preacher who invited repentance from Depression, but I also wonder: our sin, our “missing the mark,” seems so intimately tied up with who we are and how we feel and so sometimes I don’t merely want a God who can free me from my unloving behaviour or taint, I sometimes just feel I need Jesus to be able to understand my darker side too. Is this merely a mystery, or can is it possible to tease out the complexity of this question in a satisfying dialouge?
