I expect some interesting responses to this thread.

I’ll start. It’s not something I ever really contemplated as being in-spiritual to have certain mental health issues.

It’s just too trite to tell someone with serious issues to just buck it up and be happy.

On the other hand, God clearly states that he will not let anything occur to us beyond what we can handle.

Someone going through some mental crisis, like depression isn’t going to come out of it immediately. On the flip side, psychology based treatment is a sure loser and is far too often anti-Christian.

My son worked at a Christian Camp over the summer. A fellow staff member drowned. My son participated in the rescue and failed CPR attempts. Naturally, he and the rest had some serious emotional challenges. Some wise biblical counsel helped them far more than a visit to a shrink would have done.

After a large number of difficult events in rapid succession, I’m having a tough time. I’ve found far more healing in faith than with therapy. That said, people do get more than they can handle... all the time.
