If a person suffers from depression and/or anxiety should they take or need medication?
Be kind to others, you never know what their dealing with.
I asked this question to a few older ladies at my church and the answer was no and the solution for depressant and/or anxiety was to pray about it. The ladies explained to me that depression and anxiety comes from a lack of faith.
Ok but what if the person felt suicidal or can't help having panic attacks throughout the day? The answer was still nope, go somewhere and mediate and pray.
It wasn't that shocking to hear because some religions and even some countries don't believe in taking medication. It is more acceptable to use herbs and for serious cases a healer will teach you a daily meditation routine.
I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ. I have strong faith and I also believe God has place medication to help those who need it. To me it doesn't matter if you're dealing with cancer, mental illness or the flu. When you pray God doesn't say don't go to CVS my child come to me instead.
There are some people who can fight off just about anything with their mind, meditation and yes prayer but there are some people who can't and need a little help which is ok.
More or less people feel embarrassed to ask for mental help. It is a lot more difficult for people who are popular or with leadership roles. Rather, some of those people end up doing other illegal drugs or over drinking their problems away.

In my opinion it's ok to do what you got to do to get better as long as you're not hurting anyone else then do you.
