I suppose if that's what works for him - sure, why not? I say let people believe what they believe - as long as they keep it to themselves and don't try to force it on anyone who doesn't want it.

God has nothing to do with anti-depressants. There are lots of reasons for people to take them. I am one of them. And there hasn't been a day in my life where I didn't believe in God. If the anti depressant is going to help you ,why would God stop that? He wouldn't! I know for a fact....

It depends--why was the man prescribed anti-depressants? If a reasonable doctor prescribed the pills along with a holistic therapy/lifestyle management system, then I would think that God would want that person to take the pills. The God I believe in supports the use of medication to treat medical problems--and many many forms of depression are partially biochemical and NEED treatment.

Shouldn't the belief in a God BE a anti-depressant?

No, that's a poor reason to believe in any God. If someone is depressed, believing in a deity is not going to treat the depression. Said person needs to seek help. Nothing wrong with anti-depressants if you truly need them.

If you need them take them. It is not something to be ashamed of. Sometimes life can be depressing and often we can manage to get through those times but there is a kind of clinical depression that we often cannot control.
Believing in a god is depressing to me. Then I would wonder why suffering is allowed.

Well, I guess it's cheaper, but I believe examining the reasons why one feels so depressed without a belief in God would be a more permanent fix.

Nothing wrong with anti-depressants if you need them. I know a lot of Christians who are on them so believing in god doesn't seem to be a cure for depression and anxiety.

I guess Tom Cruise just jumps on the couch and leave the anti-depressants for the sinners.

if you read the book by Dr ann blake tracey, all anti depresents cause mental illness in greater degrees. I think she said all such drugs cause Psychosis or schizophrenia.
Belief in God does not Protect against criminal harrasment in the form of sorceries and drug poisoning.

Maybe it was god who helped man into inventing such medication in helping with such emotions. It was god who invented the earth and all things in it, including the resources into finding these medicines. But yes I believe that in believing in God can help depression. It helped me.
