I do think there are occasions where anti depression drugs can be very helpful to get someone over the "hump" and help them work through a problem. In this case - they would be used in conjunction with talk therapy with a counselor, or if a person is willing- reading and soul searching on their own. I do think that there is a physical depletion of natural enzymes(sp) that control moods and depression. In that case - just like with insulin- someone would need to take anti depression drugs unless God would heal them. JMO Hope this makes sense.
I appreciate your positive input, however. Research is proving beyond the shadow of a doubt, drugs are not the answer, period. Learning to lean on God is! Faith in Him is our Hope and assurance that all will be OK.

Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. Falling into the Lord's arms will be forever our answer, and, is His perfect will for us. He will take us over the hump.

Like the video that I first posted, no test can be done to confirm ADD, ADHD, Depression, and all of the other disorders proclaimed by the psyhciactric industry. You cannot cure something that doesn't exist by giving "It" medication that leads to the horror of losing your mind.

Our problem as people is this; we don't like to suffer or feel pain, so we seek for relief in the wrong places with the wrong antidote because the "FIX" is quick. Understanding this will help us. We must know, suffering is real, part of life, and truly makes us into who we are.

We were meant to cry, feel pain, sorrow, anxiety, joy, and we must not hinder these by mind altering devices born of Satan. When we endure these, we change, grow, and become made into His image through time.

Saints aren't going to the Garden, to weep, sweat, and agonize thier grief, they are opening thier hearts to "Proffesionals" who have been given 30 pieces of silver.

God Bless, NFS
