Depression is caused by putting all your faith, trust and focus on yourself instead of putting your faith, trust and focus on Jesus. You will always fail, but God never fails.

I have no doubt that works for you...but it doesn't work for everyone.

It does work for everyone. It has everything to do with belief. Some just do not believe. They do not want to believe or take the responsibility. They rather blame it on a medical condition. In this case with Jenner, he has practiced sin for so long his mind has probably become reprobate.

If belief was the deciding factor...why do so many young children suffer???

To each their own...I'm glad it works for you - but don't throw stones at others!

Clearly you don't understand that clinical depression is a chemical imbalance.

Maybe and maybe not. The "chemical imbalance" view started in the 80's based on an idea that stemmed from Parkinson's studies. It became a mantra that the public has never let go of. Today researchers have gone beyond that and are much more involved in seeking a genetic causation. But I agree that simply having faith will not help everyone with clinical depression.

Whatever floats his boat I guess. I would be upset if someone lied to me all these years (me personally, not talking about Bruce supposedly telling ex-wife or Kris.) I would be saddened even more if we had kids. Uncomfortable and sad situation for everyone.

I think it depends on who/what you are putting your faith in. If one truly believed and doesn't doubt that their depression is being healed. It will be healed. But so many of us have half belief, half faith and half trust. This is not unusual because the world looks at things in the physical realm, but people with true faith in Jesus and his promises look at the spiritual realm. They walk by faith, not by sight.

They might have thought that 300 years ago, but we have science now. You're not even close, it's a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Faith doesn't conquer all.

I think depression can cause a chemical imbalances. Depression, Stress, worry can cause all kinds of health problems.

But I don't think it started with a chemical imbalance. Chemical imbalance is symptom not a cause.

What do you base your "thinking" on?

A hunch?

[TaxyLady]

I have never heard of a doctor testing a person and saying ""you have a chemical imbalance and you are likely going to want to be a women when you are 65.""

Common sense.

You versus a couple of hundred years of science, which includes blood testing and medical research.

And yet, you "think" they are wrong.

You know, many of us have faith, but we also know that all throughout time man attributed everything he didn't understand to gods and goddesses. You are doing the same thing.
