I know the thread you're referring to and I posted there. The original posters sibling was implying that all she needed to do was pray and be cured - which is an insult to many mental illness suffers. He also implied she had evil forces going on. I did state though, it's great if a person is spiritual and it's a benefit.

My brother had bipolar disorder and he couldn't function without his medication. Yes I think it's biological but can be boosted with positive self care including enriching one's spirituality. I made the statement that lack spirituality didn't cause her mental illness but it can play a positve role. What if a person is a stellar spiritual person but still is bipolar?
