Nooooooo! No, no, no ... It isn't spiritual warfare—it is 100% biochemical in nature and NOT evil. I'm sorry he told you this. It is absolutely not true. Although he is your preacher, he could not be more ignorant about mental illness. Again, YOU ARE NOT EVIL! Prayer can help you cope, yes, but medication stabilizes our brains, and cognitive behavioral therapy helps us sorts out our thoughts. Please, PLEASE don't believe this. I've seen far too many good people suffer from believing their mental illness could be cured by prayer. We need to stand up to this ignorance. It is so wrong of him to tell you this...


You aren't a waste of space and air. Absolutely not.
