[CWRWinger]

If nothing else, the Bible commands us to be of good cheer and of sound mind. That's a commandment. It's hard to be depressed when one is cheerful.
It's also a lot easier to be cheerful if one is obedient to the Bible. People get depressed when one of their wants and desires is not fulfilled.
If all our wants and desires are what God wants for us then there is less possiblity of disappointment and depression.

Not every answer is in scripture. You wouldn't consult the Bible when you need to change the spark plugs in your call, and you probably wouldn't call the local Baptist church when your hard drive crashes.

The Bible is not a technical manual. But it will provide the freedom of thought and expression for the Watts and Newtons of this world. Would you go to Autozone to fix your depression? I do believe the Bible does have the answers to life and conquering such things as depression. You are wrong on that.

I do believe the Bible does have the answers to life and conquering such things as depression.

So do you believe that depression is never due to organic causes? Do you believe the same about Alzheimer's? If not, on what basis do you make a distinction between the two?

The Holy Bible tells us that "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine!" And Dr. Samuel Johnson advised using three doctors to stay healthy: "Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Merryheart!"
