I don't think there is anything wrong with feeling depressed and having
to take meds for it.  I do, and I am a strong believer in God.  Our bodies
need the chemical meds, especially with a chemical imbalance.  God gifted
all the pharmaceudical companies to put out helpful drugs.  That's what I
believe.  God has a part in everything, if you let Him.
