Most of those stuck on depression are irresponsible and full of self pity, blaming everyone else and the world for their lot in life.
How stupid. What a waste of time.

The Lord says to be of good cheer, that he has overcome the world.

The Lord also said that He "desires mercy more than sacrifice"

Try displaying some instead of being the "ugly Christian"

It's actually "obedience" -- not "mercy" that the Lord prefers. BUT agreed, mercy is important and fitting for some of these cases. Boundaries are important, too--and sometimes providing a shoulder is the best thing--and sometimes just being an enabler.

Disillusionment is a good thing. That means someone is no longer delusional, under an illusion. As in, a reality check.

Depressions such as those of Job and Jeremiah do call for any needful personal repentance and--in our modern era--in rare instances and MUCH more rarely than currently malpracticed--medical attention.

Saying that Jesus tells us to "Be of good cheer" that He has "overcome the world" is "ugly" to you?
