This is why the Catholic Church has sacraments -- they are essentially healing medicine for sinners, especially the Eucharist and sacramental confession.

Augustine, for example, compared the inn the beaten man was brought to by the Good Samaritan to the Church -- the Church is a place for healing the wounds of sin. And I would say especially, and indeed from experience, that the Eucharist - and in particular daily Communion - is Christ's special gift to us to keep us from continuing to fall into utter depravity and depression when those things have become habitual.
