I am usually quick to dismiss the feedback, as I realize some people just arent educated in mental health and I understand that closed-minded, judgmental opinions typically come from a place of ignorance. But there are some comments from Christian readers that get my blood boiling.<\/p>\n<p>The most offensive and hurtful one to date read as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Can we all stop talking about depression and start praying instead? I wish people would realize that we are all made in the image of God and that God doesnt make mistakes. Continuing to talk about depression and anxiety is just perpetuating the problem. If people could just remember that they are made in the image of God, depression would be a thing of the past.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That logic is flawed in so many ways. The stigma of categorizing depression and mental health issues as &#8220;mistakes&#8221;, the refusal to see them as medical issues that require treatment, the judgement of people who are clearly suffering.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but wonder if she would apply the same logic to autism or other physical disorders. Are they just a matter of praying more?<\/p>\n<p>The callousness of some people who proclaim themselves to be of faith is shocking sometimes. As the author says, is that really what Jesus called us to do, to push them off with this sort of attitude when they are in pain?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161229064758\/http:\/\/relationshipqia.com\/awesome\/to-the-christian-who-told-me-to-pray-about-my-depression-instead-of-talking-about-it\/\">http:\/\/relationshipqia.com\/awesome\/to-the-christian-who-told-me-to-pray-about-my-depression-instead-of-talking-about-it\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;As a mental health advocate and writer who is extremely transparent with my own mental illness battles, I have received a lot of personal messages containing very strong opinions about mental health.
