Totally out of bounds. When I was in a psych. hospital for depression and a doctor pushed Christianity on me I probably would have exploded. Doctors should never push one religion on a depressed person. The closest they can go is stating the patient might get some benefit by studying different religions. Pushing Christianity in that type of setting is not only extremely offensive, but most likely illegal too.
Besides, in those places there is always at least one patient in there with you that tries to get you to turn your life over to god. The jokes on them though, because I never turned to god and was able to keep my depression 90% under control, which is more than anyone in my situation could hope for.
Sorry, that was a bit of a rant. It frustrates me when I hear doctors telling depressed people stupid things, because I had to deal with it for most of my adult life. This shit just fucking PISSES ME OFF!

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
