Joshua,
I believe you have hit upon an issue that has been seriously overlooked, and you have said what I have been thinking on the subject for a long time. To be specific you said:
Quote:
Now, maybe there are chemical markers once a mind has been ripped, or fallen apart. Maybe the serotonin is all out of balance and warped. My only point is, what's the root cause? Why are the chemicals so messed up?
Now, maybe some medications can and do rebalance the neural net. But I imagine that in some cases that would be similar to the house "being swept" without a new Guest moving in, and the latter case of that person may well be worse than the first.

There is truth to what you say, and I speak from personal experience. So many of my own problems with depression over the years have been solved (praise God!) not with drugs, but with a hefty dose of God's working in my life through His Word and personal repentance. I thank God for a friend who advised me many years ago to never take a pill that would dull my senses and make me less able to listen to God's Spirit. Whether she was right or not, I don't, know. But what I do know is that I listened to her advice and stayed away from medication, and it forced me to take my problems with depression to the Lord.
