Many people describe symptoms of mental illness as sins. How can we go to hell for chemical imbalances in the brain? It's not our fault we were born like this. I'm pretty sure the man up above won't strike a blind or deaf person to hell.

You will NOT go to Hell for having mental illness !
It is NO different than a physical disease. And it is not your fault !

No, you are not hell bound, the only way you go to hell is if you choose not to believe in Jesus Christ. Haveing a mental illness has nothing todo with your salvation, thank God. Your comments below your question are correct, it definitely lines up with the Bible, and we know that the Bible is Gods word, the word is truth. Now the question is are you a believer, are you saved. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? If you do and have not accepted him as your Lord and Saviour there is a simple Prayer you can say that help you get saved, Just say Dear Jesus, I believe you are the son of God, I believe you came to earth to die on a cross for me to be a perfect sacrifice for my sins and rose from the grave the third day, I know and confess that I am a sinner in need of your salvation. I ask you to come into my heart now and save me, in Jesus name I Pray, Amen... If you just Prayed that Pray with a sincere heart you are now saved and Jesus lives inside your heart. Find a church, get you a Bible and start reading. Its a wonderfull world being a born again Christian. If you have questions please feel free to send me an email. Good luck to you and God Bless YOU!!

Do you ever notice that Christ mostly hung out, taught, and even healed the sick and the poor? And it was the more prominent he was speaking against?
Don't believe the hype, because you can actually see why it IS easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man getting into heaven.
Ask a rich person what he loves the most. Note that he'll mention a piece of material over God, or even his family for that matter. "I love this car more than life itself."

You are not hellbound!!
The universe (G-d) expects you do all that is within your power to improve your physical & mental health and outlook.
We are all tested in life to various degrees and expected to fix our Tikkune (Karma) thru action. We cannot sit around and say "woe is me, I am flawed", but, what can I do to improve my physical & spiritual outlook? Wether it means taking our Meds or searching for help. We must never give up and throw in the towel!!!!
Good luck in your actions and quest for health in every aspect of your life.

the only way anyone can go to hell is by their willing choice to reject the Almighty Creater God. simply having a mental illness won't send you to hell.

Those "many people" are as clanging brass, speaking without love and without charity. When they make such claims, they speak with Satan's voice.

Mental illnesses are just manifestations of the devil. If you are blind it is because you look at things you shouldn't, deaf because you hear things you shouldn't, chemical imbalances are due to improper thoughts and are the work of satan, you say it's not your fault but you know in your heart that is not true.
to hell with you all.. repent and be saved
