What? Mental illness is caused by an abnormal brain chemistry which is something a person is born with.
Nope. Have doctors become your priests?
“What? Mental illness is caused by an abnormal brain chemistry which is something a person is born with.”
SOMETIMES that is the case. Mental illness is also caused by trauma. That is what I suspect happened to this kid. I suspect he was molested at an early age. More than likely his parents did not know of it. Yes sexual abuse can lead to mental illness.
I’ve taken a deeper look at spiritual realities since, at one time, believing the picture was limited to the physical. (I still very much acknowledge that the picture contains the physical.)
Humanity defied God before its physical birth, while it was probably still just souls (except Adam and Eve, who were incarnate already). This sounds almost whoo-ooo New Ageish, but has the stark difference that God is unambiguously identified as king. And accepting this makes all the difference in eternity. This is something only the Great Physician can fix.
