I agree. I'm a Christian and so was the doctor I saw when I first had to start taking an anti-depresent. He explained it, as God directs us to where we can get the help we need. My church criticized me for taking meds and said I wasn't praying enough. It's an illness and like many other ones there is a place and time for medication.
I know you mean well, but I challenge you to go to a cancer support room and tell them the same thing. You and many other people believe that this is simply a state of mind. It is to a certain degree. Prayer and positive attitude is a part of the process of healing. But without the miracle of pharmaceuticals that the good lord has given humans the ability to create, I would not be alive today. I treat this as diligently as I treat my high blood pressure. I hope I don't sound mean, but I have to admit I am a bit offended.
