A friend of mine has been on disability for depression for 20 years. This year he got so busy gardening that he would forget to take his meds some days. He started to feel so alive. He started eating better and lost 70 lbs. He slowly got off all meds.....antidepressant, anti-anxiety, cholesterol, .... He is doing so well. Praise to Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.
@ Ithaca, praise God and Amen. The Word of God is healing /medicine to our flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22). Father God said, " I am the Lord that heal you ".
Why wouldn't Jesus be the answer to all problems people can have . A lot of people hurting are looking for relief but will not ask Jesus into their life for that relief. James you are unique, a doctor and Christian . Keep up the good work .
I took antidepressants for 20+ yrs. Followed everything my medical people told me. Been off them for 4yrs now. Grateful to be off them. I'm doing fine. I take no prescription medicine now.
I work at a college and you just hear more and more young people with depression, anxiety, etc talk about a pandemic. That's one I pray we can get under control. Jesus is our healer 🙌🏻
Urgent emergency Please join me in prayer for all brothers and sisters praying for the lost to get saved praying for all those in need of prayers in USA and all around the world God bless you all
I’m so glad to see that this is becoming more recognized that people have been misled that their brain is lacking serotonin. I got put on an SSRI antidepressant during a health crisis that caused me to be hospitalized. I had severe anxiety because I was gravely ill and was close to dying. The doctors were quick to give it to me. They failed to tell me I could get off of it once I got better. I was not given informed consent telling me how difficult it is to get off of them. I have worse problems now then I ever did before I was ever on them and I’m having to micro taper in order to minimize any withdrawal effects.
Praying for you to be healed completely, that you will experience God’s Joy in fullness…. the enemy’s lies to be exposed and that it’s power will be broken once and for àll!! Keep on telling him that our God ís stronger and that He is fighting this battle on your behalf!! You will conquer in Jesus Mighty Name!! Amèn!!
@Henny Same here!! Tried several times. Side affects are awful! Just awful! Started working out a lot again..it helps a lot..but..still want out of this med. Thing asap!
Henny Pen I pray things get better. Don't be afraid to fast from social media, tv, and digital devices. Give your brain a reset. Fast from sugars and red meat, pork for awhile, and increase your water intake. I pray the Lord gives you a healing and seeking spirit, opens your mind, shows you what he wants from you, and gives you the strength to do it.
My dad was killed by a drunk driver in Jan 2002, a few months after 911. Even though I had peace in my heart knowing that he was with Jesus, I began having disabling panic attacks causing me not to drive at all for a year. The fear became so great! I knew that wasn’t going to work well so I began to seek help. After trying almost every ssri under the sun one helped and I was able to get back in the drivers seat in 2004. I was told by many doctors about the low serotonin and it seemed logical. This pandemic, by way of the Holy Spirit has really opened my eyes to the trustworthiness of pharma and health providers. I can say right now I’m very upset I have been deceived, made to believe I have to take this ssri forever. How do I even begin to seek not taking this medicine I have been taking for 17 years! I’m afraid it has altered how my brain should work on its own because of taking it long term. Not once has any of my prescribing psychiatrists Ive had suggest to remove it. Being lied to is the worst 😭. I am thankful for the help at the time of dealing with those terrible panic attacks, but there shouldve been a plan besides this med forever, to work on the underlying problem and removing the medication as symptoms improved. Now what do I do? I am a wife, mother to two young kids, whom I homeschool because my son has dyslexia, caretaker of my mom and help with my disabled veteran father in law. I can’t be set back by symptoms of withdrawal or injured cognitive function because of this medication. I know my answer is calling on Jesus to help me and be with me .
God bless you and your family. May the Lord give you the strength to carry such a heavy load by trusting He will give you direction how to get off this medication. In the Powerful Name of Jesus Amen 🙏
At 43 years old, I’d been depressed for most of my life. I started studying the Bible and went into a deep learning curve following Joyce Meyers and Dr Carolyn Leaf. I was shocked to learn that I didn’t have to think every thought that came into my mind, but could reject and even replace anxious and depressing thoughts with the Truth! It took much prayer and perseverance, but after 2 years my lifelong depression left! I’m 57 and have never been depressed since. I can now recognize when the enemy is flooding my mind with lies, and can quickly bind and renounce them. It’s so freeing!
Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day praying for everyone everyday God bless you all .
I cannot say thank you enough to your honesty, the love of the scriptures and thank you for bringing God’s spirit to sickness and totally trusting the Lord. I agree everything you said By doing this, God will give us the gifts of (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control)Amen doctor Marcum. I support you!
Thank you as usual doc. These videos really are an incredible help for all of us, your insight is immensely sensible and prolific compared to most others doing what you do. Your efforts are greatly appreciated
Thank you for sharing this information. Ja, I trust God in all life challenges. Ja, I have lost trust in doctors and there advice, so I will say you are the ONLY doctor I would take advice from. Ja, thank you for sharing your knowledge. …..and Gods Words for healing. 👏🇳🇴
We lost our niece 8 weeks ago. She had depression and drinking! For many yrs. She did not take her own life the drinking and not eating. Very long story. We tried and she just thought she could do this on her own. She had just turned 40. One thing I do know that I feel in my heart and just different things that went on that she is in heaven. We are just all devastated and trying to get healing now from her loss.
Thank you Dr. Marcum for such an important and timely message! Could you possibly share some natural methods that might help elevate mood and ease depressive symptoms without the use of medications? Thank you! 🙏 To God Be the Glory!
Dr. mentioned read the Bible, praise and worship God , fellowship with Believers . If you can't sing, play Christian songs/hymns; listen to audio Bible especially book of Psalms. There are many good ones on TH-cam. Be blessed.
@@pamela7553 Thank you Pamela! I believe prayer and pouring our hearts out to Jesus Helps A Lot! He knows us intimately. He created us and sustains us.

I'm so glad that you're speaking about mental health. Mental health is so important that it effects every area of our lives. I struggle with OCD and depression (especially seasonal depression). I'm no psychologist or phsychitrist but with my experience with OCD and depression, I'm wondering if having another mental health condition affects you having depression later on and I'm also intrigued about light therapy helping with depression. I have an aunt that says using light therapy has helped with her depression. I've been paying attention to what makes me feel more motivated and makes feel better and lot of times, it's when I'm outside in the sunshine. Cloudy and dreary days make feel down. I feel like it's a good idea to be aware of what doesn't seem to make you feel good and what does make you feel good
A beautiful and balanced presentation. “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 144:15)
Great informative video. I attest that more meds more side effects but even specialists are baffled because they only know what can be examined from past stats & today. Sadly we won’t know until after more people bring it up to their doctors. For over 20 years I informed my doctor that the meds I’m on has caused me depression & terrible mood changes but was quickly ignored and not true doctor said. Until now info everywhere online, found a doctor to help me switch to something else but not working but was able to wean on lower dosage. Christ is our greatest physician I am still praying for complete healing through Him as nothing is impossible with Him but in the meantime we all know that we live in a fallen world and food, meds, things we consume all play a factor including our hereditary factors etc. No one size fits all so it’s difficult as well for science to find solutions. Anything going into our bodies must be taken with caution. In my case it’s so hard for me to trust doctors but I must trust that our sovereign God loves me enough that I can pray & trust Him to find me the right doctor & meds if need be to help me live out my earthly life well for Christ. 💪🏼💞 This ties in with my new topics I will be posting on my YT channel on Christian mental health. Thank you for being informative.
I wonder if it has anything to do with diet and gut bacteria? What are your thoughts about this? I have eliminated all grains, sugar and processed foods have been eating a very low carb, high protein, high fat diet and feeling so much better overall.
Thanks so much, dear brother in Christ! Would you consider praying about doing a video on a good, healthy, effective treat for trauma (PTSD) ? THANKS so much for having the courage in Christ to speak the truth in love.
so the antidepressants don't work the way they thought they did but the antidepressants do in fact help. I was on antidepressants for two years and then I weaned off of them in May. I felt fine until mid August and had to get back on them. I pray, read the bible, exercise, and do anti anxiety techniques. I hope to get off the antidepressants soon again. Every individual is different. Pray for me as I pray for those of you struggling. God bless you all.
If you do every slow gradual taper then you should be fine. If you come off too quickly you can get protracted withdrawal. Read dr. Peter breggin's books on psych meds. He has one on withdrawal.
@@janeteddddd , yeah I did the gradual taper withdrawal. I was on 10 mg a day then 7.5 for two weeks, 5 for two weeks and then 2.5 for three weeks. I felt fine for three months .
Dr. I can't trust anyone after my brother death due to lied by authoritarianism. I went to have a teeth filling. The Dentist Dr. wanted to inject medication into my gum, but I could not let her do it because the flash back what my brother gone through. I have headache after. My tears just unstoppable. Please pray for me. I know that only God can bring me peace to my soul. Thank you.
My daughter was put on Prozac for depression when she was 20,I honestly believe she was allergic to it and affected her in the most awful ways became Aggressive and out of control on it, in 2000 an Incident involving a gun with her boyfriend she was shot in head,They were both to blame.Since then I have been caring for her after all this years, blind and Brain injured
That’s true, let’s go back to GOD, by praying thanking Him, rejoice in Christ. Let’s not believe what the world has to offer, believe in Christ and enjoy His goodness and mercy and love.
Yep I don't take my antidepressant unless I really need to and that may be one or two times a year. I don't like synthetic medications or their unknown affects. I have to take thyroid medication but I take natural thyroid because Synthroid gave me higher anxiety etc . I know too many young people put on antidepressant and anxiety medications who are still having issues so doctors add another medication to the first one🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ do not allow yourself to be isolated. Even if you have to join an online community do it!
There was something on the market back about 30 years ago, tryptophan ( misspelled) It was purchased at health food stores. Millions of people were finding relief from depression. The FDA took it off the market saying they were finding contamination in products...
I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that antidepressants ruined my cognition. As long as i took the pills I was ok. i could focus, still had some depressive days, but not like afterwards. I started showing signs of Parkinson, and despite what drs say Tardive dyskinesia is not "normal". It is "normal" in the fact it presents in most patients that take a serotonin reuptake. zoloft, paxil, effexor,.), but it is not "normal", because your body should not make involuntary movements; unless you are having a seizure. Depression is real and it is debilitating; however, i would advise to seek counseling, THE LORD, and maybe more hobbies. I know it is easy to say but difficult to do; some days you can't even get out of bed. But don't take any antidepressants because you will always have to. It's like a body builder, once they cease building mass it turns to flab and fat. That is the same thing that happens to your brain. Also, inhaling your carbon dioxide is not healthy, nor helping any pre-existing mental/behavior issues. Our crime ha risen in EVERY city, our children are losing out on their education with the closures and consolidation of schools. During the pandemic students lost 2 years of learning. Ages 5-8 lost very important tools to learn math properly, and teens lost all interest in school. These things that are going on in the world are already programmed to happen regardless of what the media, social media platforms, and the govt say. Unfortunately we live in a world that does not belong to us. Decisions are being made on "our behalf", but how can a millionaire know what a $10k a yr adult need? How can a group of people that have always had money and options tell you how to live your life and make life changing decisions for you? I pray more people would give Jesus a chance and read the Bible to see that God told us what was going to happen. We all have free will given to us by God, but as you can see our free will is being infringed upon. We have been tainted by mass media feeding us tragedy 24hrs a day, our children, and some adults, have been "influenced" by TIC-TOK, Instagram etc "influencers" These people start a trend and next thing you know you have slap your teacher challenge. I want what everyone to understand we are too blame for many issues in our homes and we creates some of our mental issues. We are too consumed with how people look at us, how people feel about us. I want what she/he has, if I cant have it, they cant either, or i will do anything to get what I want. Ask God for help with an honest, humble, and hurting heart. Poor out your soul to him in prayer, things will change. I pray for good mental, physical, and spiritual health for everyone.
Dr. James L Marcum I have a question about my health condition.I was diagnosed with neuralgia. Do you believe neuralgia can be healed with prayer? It is so painful in my inner ear area that my quality of life is dropping and sometimes I feel depressed. Thank you, God bless!
If you ask someone, "do you think financial stress leads to depression?" (Yea); "do you think loneliness or toxic relationships would cause depression?" (Yup). Then ask "what causes depression?"(brain chemistry...) lol! Thoughtless! Life stresses is the real issue. Fix the real lifestyle problems & symptoms subside.
A friend of mine has been on disability for depression for 20 years.
This year he got so busy gardening that he would forget to take his meds some days.
He started to feel so alive.

I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that antidepressants ruined my cognition. As long as i took the pills I was ok. i could focus, still had some depressive days, but not like afterwards. I started showing signs of Parkinson, and despite what drs say Tardive dyskinesia is not "normal". It is "normal" in the fact it presents in most patients that take a serotonin reuptake. zoloft, paxil, effexor,.), but it is not "normal", because your body should not make involuntary movements; unless you are having a seizure. Depression is real and it is debilitating; however, i would advise to seek counseling, THE LORD, and maybe more hobbies. I know it is easy to say but difficult to do; some days you can't even get out of bed. But don't take any antidepressants because you will always have to. It's like a body builder, once they cease building mass it turns to flab and fat. That is the same thing that happens to your brain. Also, inhaling your carbon dioxide is not healthy, nor helping any pre-existing mental/behavior issues. Our crime ha risen in EVERY city, our children are losing out on their education with the closures and consolidation of schools. During the pandemic students lost 2 years of learning. Ages 5-8 lost very important tools to learn math properly, and teens lost all interest in school. These things that are going on in the world are already programmed to happen regardless of what the media, social media platforms, and the govt say. Unfortunately we live in a world that does not belong to us. Decisions are being made on "our behalf", but how can a millionaire know what a $10k a yr adult need? How can a group of people that have always had money and options tell you how to live your life and make life changing decisions for you? I pray more people would give Jesus a chance and read the Bible to see that God told us what was going to happen. We all have free will given to us by God, but as you can see our free will is being infringed upon. We have been tainted by mass media feeding us tragedy 24hrs a day, our children, and some adults, have been "influenced" by TIC-TOK, Instagram etc "influencers" These people start a trend and next thing you know you have slap your teacher challenge. I want what everyone to understand we are too blame for many issues in our homes and we creates some of our mental issues. We are too consumed with how people look at us, how people feel about us. I want what she/he has, if I cant have it, they cant either, or i will do anything to get what I want. Ask God for help with an honest, humble, and hurting heart. Poor out your soul to him in prayer, things will change. I pray for good mental, physical, and spiritual health for everyone.
Dr. James L Marcum I have a question about my health condition.I was diagnosed with neuralgia. Do you believe neuralgia can be healed with prayer? It is so painful in my inner ear area that my quality of life is dropping and sometimes I feel depressed. Thank you, God bless!
What do you think about St. John's wort natural anti depressant?
Magnesium helps with depression & anxiety
Yes it does. Niacin in high dose also can help 👌
If you ask someone, "do you think financial stress leads to depression?" (Yea); "do you think loneliness or toxic relationships would cause depression?" (Yup).
Then ask "what causes depression?"(brain chemistry...) lol!
Thoughtless!
Life stresses is the real issue. Fix the real lifestyle problems & symptoms subside.
Read another new study this week which disproves the beta amyloid theory as the cause for Alzheimer's.
