And yes you can balance your mind, some people heal from depression without meds, but I suggest always taking medications because they help boost back the battery into place.
It will never bring the balance to balance, that's up to you.
I been through low ends of bipolar for years where it was major depression.
I been through a lot. I know what it is, probably more then most people.
I am mentally ill still, and the madness hasn't fully subsided.
And yes it's an evil that God will heal if we turn to him.
No sorry MK, while nobody can ultimately tell you how to cope with yourself personally, the fact is that religion IS NOT nor will ever be a replacement for the professionals. If it helps you cope that is on you, but no holy person or or holy book can replace a proper diagnosis or professional support.
God guides the mentally ill people (1/5 of people are mentally ill) as much he guides the non-mentally ill.
Why would God only guide non-mentally ill people and help them psychologically and not mentally ill people.
Sorry the damn stigma is nothing but a statement that says "We believe in you people who have mentally illness are CAPABLE".
I don't need someone to tell me to feel sorry for myself because I have no responsibility or capability or so little of responsibility or capability. That's the heart of the secular approach, and I don't buy it.
