1 Serious depression is not something that a person can just snap out of.. 2  Use of alcohol or other drugs only makes depression worse. 3  For youth who are questioning their sexual identity (e.g. homosexuality, bisexuality, etc.), feelings of loneliness and rejection lead to a greater risk of depression and suicide.
Benedict is an English name of Latin origin. A biblical name, it is derived from the element 'benedictus' meaning blessed. Benedictus (Latin) is an old form of Benedict. The name was borne by the 6th-century Saint Benedict (480-550), the founder of Christian monastic communities and the Benedictine order.
Spinoza's alienation from his community is reflected in an alternative version of his name. Baruch in Hebrew (bÃ¢rÃ»kh) means Blessed; but Spinoza began using the name Benedict, which in Latin (Benedictus) would mean spoken well of or praised.. This reflects the circumstance that Spinoza, with whom Jews were forbidden to associate, inevitably found friendship with Christians instead.
