International evangelist and motivational speaker Nick Vujicic is opening up about his personal battle with depression and the practical steps he takes to maintain emotional and spiritual health.
In a recent interview connected to his new documentary, No Limbs, No Limits: The NickV Story, Vujicic reflected on his childhood struggles-including a suicide attempt at age 10-and emphasized that faith does not automatically shield believers from mental health challenges.
"Being a Christian doesn't mean you won't face depression," Vujicic has shared in past interviews. Instead, he encourages believers to confront discouragement with intentional spiritual and practical habits.
Five Ways Nick Vujicic Fights Depression
1. Practicing Gratitude
Vujicic recommends intentionally listing things to be thankful for, even in painful seasons. Gratitude, he says, helps reset perspective and shift focus from what is lacking to what remains.
2. Reframing Difficult Days
He encourages reflecting on hardships and recognizing how situations could have been worse. This practice cultivates resilience and prevents negative thinking from spiraling.
3. Rejecting Lies About God
One of the biggest turning points in his life came when he stopped blaming God for his circumstances. Vujicic now urges others to challenge destructive thoughts that distort God's character.
4. Seeking Community and Support
Isolation fuels depression, he warns. Vujicic stresses the importance of reaching out to trusted friends, pastors, or counselors rather than suffering in silence.
5. Serving Others
Helping someone else in need is one of the most powerful ways he combats discouragement. Shifting focus outward often brings renewed purpose and perspective.
He also emphasizes anchoring in Scripture, frequently pointing to Philippians 4:13 as a reminder of Christ's sustaining strength.
A Message of Hope
Born without arms and legs due to tetra-amelia syndrome, Vujicic has built a global ministry that reaches millions. Through speaking engagements, media appearances, and humanitarian outreach, he continues to remind audiences that their value and purpose are not defined by circumstance.
With No Limbs, No Limits: The NickV Story, Vujicic hopes to inspire viewers who may be quietly battling depression or hopelessness. His message is clear: struggles are real, but so is hope.
For those facing mental health challenges, Vujicic encourages seeking professional help when needed and refusing to believe the lie that they are alone.
His life, he says, is proof that even the darkest chapters can become part of a greater story of purpose and perseverance.
