Religious conversion is clearly not the best answer to a stressful situation.  But the idea that religion always makes mental issues worse is rubbish on the face of it.  That loads and loads people have found solace, stress relief and have alleviated depression through religion is unarguable.

And - quite frankly - it doesn't even matter if this is a phony cure or a placebo. Billions and billions of people are religious and are perfectly happy and mentally well adjusted.
