Thank God my Christian counselor didn't think like you. He knew better than you or me that my brain needed medicines to help it out. Just as a broken leg needs crutches or imperfect vision needs glasses. Do you wear glasses or eye contacts? If you do, where's your faith, man?
Many people are able to pick themselves up by the bootstraps and get on with it. But as my counselor explained to me at the time of my crash-n-burn, my bootstraps were broke. The Body of Christ is supposed to be helping the weaker ones out, not kicking them when they're down.
There is a huge difference between the decay of the human body due to age and the effects of bad thinking that effect a person's emotions.
Emotions are something you do to yourself. It is the rareest of individuals that has a genuine brain disorder that causes their brain to not produce certain chemicals like Endorphins, or lack the receptors to receive these secretions.
In other words, 99% of all people taking these medications are doing it to themselves, they caused their problems, they created their problems, and their faulty thinking is making their problems worse.
It is an undeniable fact, that even when a person goes on these medications, it is only for the period of time necessary for them to LEARN HOW TO STOP THINKING THE WAY THAT MADE THEM SICK!!
And it is a shame your 'Christian' Counsellor didnt send you to Jesus instead of Freud. That person needs to sit down with a Bible believing Pastor to get their had right with God, instead of Freud. I suggest you search for Psychoheresy Ministries on the net
http://www.psychoheresy-aware.org/ Every doctor who puts you on these pills tells you that you are only supposed to be on them until you get your thinking straight, and you have to admit that. If they aren't, then you need a new doctor, for all they would be doing is making you a slave to a pill that effects something that you CAN control, as long as you know what to think, and why.
Christians are supposed to know better, it is a shame you dont.
