Psychiatrists are an absolute necessity. Prayer cannot rid a person of Bipolar Disorder or Paranoid Schizophrenia.

You have a problem of categories. A good place for you to start would be to take a more in-depth look at the entire concept of "mental illness" instead of taking it for granted as having an ontological reality, say, as a chicken or quartzite or helium has ontological reality. Start with The Myth of Mental Illness and The Manufacture of Madness by Thomas Szasz.

So what you’re saying is that bipolar disorder and schizophrenia don’t exist?
