I've always said I would never take medication for anything, but now I'm on
one for anxiety for a problem at work.  I take one for sleep also, well two.
I'm not depressed, but I do have a little problem with anxiety which is work
related.  I guess the problem at work has caused me to be depressed as well.
So I know a little bit about it.

Subject: depression

I have heard some pastors say that Christians shouldn't be depressed, but
aren't thereexamples of people feeling depressed in the Bible?  What about
David, and Elijah! these were men who wereseekingGod, yet they were
depressed!
I have heard some say it is wrong to take medication for depression, but if
it is a chemical imballance that is causing the depression why not?
I like reading different books on this subject, and look forward to hearing
what you think.  We all go through different things in life, sickness,
financial loss, grief, and depression! does any of these things meanwe do
not trust god!
