Pavndol are you on antidepressants? I was once back in 1977-1978. Then God moved in my life and revealed Himself to me. I flushed my medicine and haven't used any since. I understand your questions. Sheila certainly is not the only "Christian" who takes or has taken antidepressants. Do I still get depressed? Yes I do at times, but mostly my depression is brought about by the circumstances in my life. Is that type of depression different than clinical depression which is a chemical imbalance? I don't know, but God does. I can't judge another whose shoes I've never walked in. I will give an account to God for the things that I've done and said. What helps me is knowing that those circumstances of life that happen now are a very small part of our eternity. King David said it like this: Psalm 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment,His favor is for a lifetime;Weeping may last for the night,But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
