Against Depression, a Sugar Pill Is Hard to Beat

In the secular world my guess would be that you are right.

But, in the Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb, Christian world, the Word of God and the word of God is all we need. And neither will rot our teeth.
Alas

[Sam Cree]

I bet you the word of God tells us to go easy on the sugar.

But, in the Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb, Christian world, the Word of God and the word of God is all we need.

Though I think that I understand your sentiment, it's very naive and not at all Biblical. Did the Good Samaritan provide the injured man care and medicine or did he just pray for him? See also the book of James.

With all due respect, my grandmother was as devout a Christian as you'll find. And she suffered from depression. Antidepressants worked for her when nothing else would. It's a physical disease that can be very treatable.
