If you take a medication - say, Lamictal - and it does not work, you do not feel that you are taking it in a wrong way, not applying enough effort, not doing it sincerely enough, with less than 100% devotion or dedication, etc. etc. As long as you take it, if it does not work, you know that it does not work - not that you caused it not to work. With prayer, people are bound to feel that they have not been doing a good enough job, which can lead to guilt, hopelessness, beating themselves up, and other such bad things. Since bipolar people have a tendency to beat themselves up on their own, the danger of the prayer method in exacerbating the natural tendency to beat themselves up and feel guilty is very real.

I actually seen people say **** like "I am so broken even meds don't work, nothing will ever work" or "my new med didn't work, I will disappoint my pdoc".
