Gary's depression was very situational, so he was only on medicine for less than a year. He has never had a reoccurance until now. It's very serious and not to be taken lightly. Loved your analogy. Thank you again for praying. . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077376592641214474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763724112250459614.post-18542173294447599752014-02-13T13:59:21.087-05:002014-02-13T13:59:21.087-05:00Yes Ama.

A person needs this to help them climb out of the black hole and feel joy again. That's what depression medicine does for them. If a diabetic needed insulin, we couldn't say there was a lack of faith that was at the root of the problem. Prayer and faith definitely help, but medical intervention is also needed. Thanks for sharing this.

Until I experienced it through my husband. Now with prayer, faith, and wonderful medical intervention we are able to stare this nasty disease full in the face.

Your talking about it may help just one more family be able to get it out in the open. Your family has had just so much to bear. Sending love and wishing for you all peace.Judynoreply@blogger.com
