I recently read literature from a local church that referred to depression and anxiety as a ‘sin’. It would be absurd to call cancer or asthma a sin, and it is just as ridiculous to refer to medically recognized mental illnesses as such. Furthermore, its abusive and cruel (especially to people who turn to religion for comfort) to imply that if they were better Christians/Muslims/Jews/ect they would not suffer from these illnesses, and they are somehow at fault. I’ll get off my soapbox now, and go hug my friends living with depression and anxiety.
