Depression has good evolutionary explanations, a fact of life you reject.
Calling people retarded is the poisoning of the well that theists excel in, without even understanding.
It is nothing short of compartmentalizing.
"I didn't mention God"
It is still a dodge. If you hold a deity belief you are viewing the world through that position.
And this goes with EVERY RELIGION. While many religious people can and to function on a daily basis without things like bi polar or depression or anxiety or schizophrenia religion far too often compounds those things and makes them worse. It is why Andrea Yates murdered her 5 kids. Her belief that she was not living up to God's will combined with post partum lead her to needlessly murder her kids.
Religion also leads gullible parents to deny health care to children too. But again, none of that is to say that you can rid religion from the world, but it should never be assumed to be harmless either.
