I think for a lot of people that is true. Though I have met some for whom faith is more academic. I have had faith in God my entire life. During previous bouts of depression my faith was a comfort to me. Now the connection is gone and I don't know if it is as you say that my emotions are tamped down so I can't feel or if it is that there is so much going on in my brain that anything more andvanced than getting beyond the day is on hold.

I have gotten to a strange place though. I figure God and faith will find me again when I am ready. I have always found it easier to see God in my life retrospectively and I think it will be the same once I am on the other side of this.

I am not sure if this helps, but I hope it does.
