...Ruth, I am sorry you stumbled across the critical<br />Hireling (I would not call him a shepherd of God's people) who tries to obscure and slander the truth about psychiatry. <br />This is why we have started the organization, <br />CAMI. Christians Afflicted with Mental Illness need to speak louder and more accurate than such ignorant people.<br />It seems when it comes to mental illness there are still many of "Job's friends."<br />We recently had our first international CAMI gold member from Australia. Let us pray hard for the mentally ill, especially those who are of the household of faith. And thank you for telling him about our book, "Broken Minds, Hope for Healing When You Feel Like You're Losing It" -Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications.<br />In it we deal with the error of nouthetic counseling, the integrationist and spiritual warfare devotees. Furthermore Robyn and I both share our family fight against depression. You can read about it at the same link above.Rev. Steve Bloem, B.A.M.M.

According to the author people with bpd are "weak and very annoying" and that "psychiatry has medicalised many sins". I was hoping the article would be helpful but it has left me fighting off the thoughts that my depression is something I should get control of and bring myself out of and that any behaviours that I am trying to rectify and change to do with my bpd should be done tomorrow. Am I glad your blog was here to counter those thoughts.I don't understand the resistance to accept mental illness in the christian family. I suggested they read your book!!heather_charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739918604019682521noreply@blogger.com
