Is Anxiety A Sin
to Christians: Do you think taking anti-depressants is a sin?
or meds for panic attacks, or anxiety? i just read this in a question so i just wonder why someone would think its a sin?
anxiety is a chemical imbalance in the brain & i’m pretty sure depression is too because you can go to a doctor and they can say you are ‘clinically depressed’. so my sister takes paxil & a friend takes zoloft, why is this a sin for people who think so? Thanks 
Absolutely not! That would be like saying a diabetic person is sinning because they use insulin shots.
A person who takes anti-depressants does so because the chemicals in their brain are not interacting correctly. It is a physical problem that causes a mental symptom ranging from depression to anxiety to suicidal thoughts, etc.
The anti-depressant just corrects the physical problem so that the mental symptom is no longer such a big deal.
Just like in diabetics. The pancreas stops producing enough insulin to help regulate blood sugar, so they take insulin shots to treat this problem. They are both physical problems that the medicine corrects. There is nothing wrong with taking anti-depressants if you need them!
