I've been in and out of depressions. I had to restart meds this week after realizing I was really slowed down, disorganized and 'depressed' about the family I came out of and my daughter. I've been healed of depression once in church...it just lifted and I had my sense of scent back, so in that sense a spiritual touch healed me, whether the causation was brain chemistry or my thought life, or guilt or anger. Sooo many people suffer from depression. How can we say it is only chemical/physical, or only spiritual at the source? There must be some common denominator. I do know for me, the meds kicked in right away and I was thinking and moving faster; I think it has to do with the electricity in the brain and how the synapses are firing. Who knows, we all hate it. I have clear spaces without meds, then I go back and need them. 'didn't mean to ramble on so.....
