if i wasn’t on anti-depressants, i would’ve killed myself by now.

When I’m off my depression meds, I get sad seem to get stuck on gloomy thoughts. I feel emotionally raw, like things are right below the surface. The darks things seem bigger than they are. On meds, it’s like someone turns on a lamp, you can see things, and yes, while there might be a mess, but can at least see, everything doesn’t feel so bleak. That raw, bleak feeling can really wear you down. I didn’t get on meds till I was in my 30s. Oh how I wished I had found them sooner in life.

Someone has taken a piece of a video and posted it to make it seem like he was saying don’t take medication.

That is Not what he was saying at All.

He said, a person can take a medication to help balance the chemicals in the brain, but the individual will need to do something also.

He is telling the truth( seeing a therapist, increasing socialization, eating healthier, getting adequate sleep, changing old habits, and etc).

I think it’s dangerous for you to even remotely insinuate that someone should not take medication for depression. Then on top of that, you’re making a depressed person feel guilt with God because they’re taking a medication for depression. What if they stop taking their medication and then kill themselves? You should be very careful and maybe think twice about what you’re saying. It’s a little bit reckless, I think.

Medication can change the thought process in some people.

[nourichedsoul]

Medicine can be a form of God’s Grace. You can take meds while changing your thought process and even while believing for healing.

I am a nurse and I am on meds for anxiety- especially since the initial hit of handeling the Covid spread in the beginning phases. No therapy, coping mechanism or divine intervention would help. I will not live me life being dehabilitated and on the verge of panic attacks out of nowhere, when there is something to correct it. Scientifically, people can be depressed or anxious because of chemical imbalances without previous traumas alone. You cannot preach something that you do not understand.

[ServingVibes]

I’m a Christian and I’m sorry but I feel this is a dangerous message for people truly dealing with three conditions of mental health.

[sweetcheeks]

What about those of us who literally have a chemical imbalance?… and have walked with God and done therapy

Meds dumbed me down and depleted my vitamins. Only trusting in Jesus helped my mental state.

They need something to sort their issues out I tell you that much.
I was mentally abused and manipulated by religious people and family when I was younger, because my life didn’t matter if I didn’t believe in god, I’m unworthy I won’t get anywhere in life, I’m going to hell, I’ll never be a good person, they’re superior to me… I tried to end my life.

I’m now 29 and I’m still living with the consequences of what I did, under evaluation every week, mental health meetings 3 times a week.. it’s exhausting!!
All for the sake of other people who chose to mentally put me down because I am not religious.
It’s disgraceful and I’m glad that I don’t see those people anymore.
Now I know I suffer from mental health, but surely they do too to be inflicting so much damage onto other people and believing in things and hearing things that aren’t physically there.
Usually people call those hallucinations…
Religion is taught and often forced, it’s not a natural thing that we’re born into with prior knowledge, nothing is.

I take medication for sleep psychosis major depressive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but hav made no changes to my life style other than what is legally required for my probation and I have made huge progress with my mental health

Steroids are just as much of a medicine than anything else. It helps with sleep, it helps with your dopamine levels, your serotonin levels, balancing out your mental state, because low Testosterone makes people lethargic.
Luke was a physician, he didn't tell you to fast and pray and your chemical imbalance will heal. Or that your headache would go away.
Being someone that takes kolonopin for high anxiety and being looked at as a drug addict is extremely frustrating, especially while the ones condemning you are getting drunk.
God gave us a lot of things that are profitable, it's only when we decide to abuse them that it's a problem. The same with alcohol a few cocktails isn't sinning, it's when you place it above God or in place of God or abuse the substance.

[אלוןפריידקין]

You tell it like you have ever suffered from schizophrenia or psychosis. Almost nothing prevents it except medications.Deny it if you want, but it is not our fault that we have it. If you were a real religious person you could really give them advice that won't end in suicide.

I think what he is trying to say is we should not rely only on medication for complete peace we have to change the way we think. My dr placed me on anxiety medication for a short term- he did say it will help me feel better but won’t change the way I think. I am in counseling and learning tools on how to control my anxiety. Praying works

[itsmiki]

Medication is dangerous for mental health😢 I've experienced it. Meditation saved me.

[Criticalthinker-zo]

I was trying to make a decision about whether I should go back on medication or not I think faith alone is what I need because when I was on medication I still had problems and it was even worse and people are telling me I need to take medication I don't want to be forced by anybody to take medication I just need prayer and the word

[EnjoyTheShoah]

It will absolutely change your thought process. You don't know what you're talking about.
