*.*★v . ✶•´ ☆´,•*´¨★Should you stop taking your medication because of faith/prayer/healing? Ever been told that taking medication is evil? Has someone told you to stop taking your medication that was not your prescribing physician/medically qualified? Ever had thoughts to come off your medication?
This video does centre around psychiatric medication and aimed towards Christians but the message applies to anyone who has been prescribed tablets by a medical professional to aid recovery from ill health.

**In the video I mentioned having the angry mania and that i did not have the euphoric version of mania. I recognise this may give the wrong impression, as if one type was better/worse than the other. ALL mania is a nightmare to live with and both can be devastating in different ways.. It was simply a mistake I made in the video I am unable to edit out.I apologise.

Also wanted to make clear another point. Not EVERY thought of stopping medication/going it alone is coming from the enemy. Mental illness can produce this thinking also...I guess what I am trying to process and put across is sometimes...just sometimes... we cant always rule out the demonic in psychiatric illness.This is a very heavy topic I believe best left to mental health chaplains, certainly for patients its a face to face conversation with mature,sensible Christians.The internet is not the ideal place for such a subject really... I wanted to mention it to put it out there so that if any thoughts like this do come your way, you are able to take control of the situation and see your mental health professional for a discussion about those thoughts.You can also enlist the help of other Christians you trust to pray for you. You do not want anything taking you away from your action plan to stay well. Stay safe, Be well.
Thanks for reading!** *.*★v . ✶•´ ☆´,•*´¨★
