We can help ourselves, and if we can't, God and his appointed guides of the past to the present, can help us.

Why because it put's some responsibility to mental illness?
Most religious people are taking secular approach. I just don't buy it and in fact, one good reason for me to believe in religion was due to it's approach to mental health which is been forgotten and neglected in this century.
It is very rare that I get truly upset with you. Right now I am. I beg you to stop, because you really do not have any clue about what mental illness is, and it HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with a god by any name existing.
This is extremely important, so please take me seriously on this. Using a crutch is just that, a crutch. It does not address REAL psychology or neurology. ONLY clinical professionals like doctors and psychiatrists and neurologists are qualified to diagnose you or I. Your religion is not a cure. It can help you if that is what you need, but it is in NO WAY a diagnosis or medical procedure or medicine.
I take this very personally having depression, and having family and friends with even far worse than what I suffer from.
DO NOT call mental illness "evil". <---- That right there is what pissed me off. It is something nobody likes having but it is NOT evil. It is merely something anyone can learn to cope with, and there is no super natural cause for it.
