I dropped seven prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. This included depression medication I was on for more than twenty years. How did I do it? In a nutshell all of these things helped. 1. Developing my relationship with God, (daily worship, bible meditation (outloud) and prayer. Secondly, becoming emotionally healthy and learning to attract healthy friends into my life. Sometimes we are emotionally unhealthy and dont even know it. Thirdly, stopped watching TV and avoided anything that would fill my mind with negativity. This includes negative people. And lastly, I cut out processed foods and processed sugar eleven years ago. This is a game changer! What we eat is so important, unfortunately few people are willing to let go addictive drugs called sugar, salt, processed oil and more. Lost forty pounds to boot! Eleven year anniversary in 2024!
Thank you for sharing i will cut out sugar cold turkey and be more active because my depression and sadness comes in spurts … i read my bible almost daily sometimes i miss a day or two but i need to be grounded in the word
I was so lost several years ago and in 2020 I felt like I lost everything that mattered to me. Suffered from anxiety. But I met Jesus and found myself at the foot of the cross. He turned my life around and restored me. My identity is in Christ and I now have peace beyond understanding. Hope anyone going through this right now will come to Him. Jesus said, " Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest to your souls. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Excellent content and video, God bless ✝️💟🙏🏼 also everyone remember Elijah who was depressed and suicidal and went on fasting and was healed and turned back and overcame the false prophets. In Jesus name we overcome!
Not to detract from what Dr James Marcum has mentioned. But i find this verse very encouraging and full of hope. When I re-enter another bout of depression due to the pace of this life. *Isaiah 40 31* But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
I go through the same experience. There are moments where I don't want to go outside. Depression is real, but powerful and more real is Christ who understands our weaknesses.
@@natg_37 God is always faithful in renewing our strength. He always bounces us back to good health. Our hope is in him. The joy of the Lord is our strength. 💪 🙂
As someone who was diagnosed with severe depression and PTSD, THANK YOU so much for making this video. Christ has changed my life in every way you can imagine but I still struggle daily with the darkness this mental sickness brings. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I agree. God did make these things, but man has ruined them with chemicals. That's why they keep pushing plants. I have been healing on carnivore WOE. Just started July 1st. Good luck
"Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything" the new instructions after the great flood. I'm trying carnivore, too, don't feel a big difference yet. However, I've got Lyme disease.
@@IAmPhasion Carnivore includes all animal products such as eggs, bacon, cheese and dairy, although most carnivores go easy on the dairy and some only eat ruminant meat or preferred meats. Ketovores include a small amount of low starch / low carb veges and maybe berries.
Depression is a demon. Root causes include discouragement, deep grief, loss, unforgiveness and/or hope deferred. Seek the Lord, press in, to find the root. I battled it for a long time and still have bouts from time to time. Heart sickness can be remedied. Give it to Jesus 💜
Thanks for this encouraging message. The last part, prayer, is so important. And especially the part about praying for others. It is easy to focus solely on your problems when you have depression. Getting outside of yourself and both praying for and assisting others seems to help lessen the burden. God bless!
I needed this, As a 26 year old who is battling with her emotions and having a parent who is dying, I don't know if what I feel is depression or numbness.
May the Lord be with you and your family. Continue to lean-in to the Lord. Continue to pray for your parent’s salvation & peace in embracing the Lord’s welcoming arms.
Thank you, Dr. Marcum. This is very helpful. While I am bless to not be suffering from depression, I do know persons who are or have. And it is indeed a struggle even for those of us trying to help. God continue to bless you. 🙏🏾
God also gave the animals for us to eat after the flood.............turkey contains lots of tryptophan....... Not in favor of plant based diets - agree with supplementing with Vit D. Low carb is extremely beneficial. Also, scripture tells us to 'take our thoughts captive' and this is key to recovering from depression. (Retired psychotherapist).
Being around negative people, can effect you. Sure we all feel down from time to time. Sometimes you just have to walk away. As Jesus said sake the dust off and move on.
We are definitely impacted by who we surround ourselves, but with Jesus help we can make better choices and make the right choice to walk away when necessary.
My depression comes from my son not walking with Jesus anymore, he was raised in the church and is now no longer walking with him. It’s been a t8me of despair for me.
Thank you for this. Just a note on Omega 3. It’s specifically high doses (1g-3g per day) of EPA needed to help depression. Plant sources like walnuts and linseeds are rich in ALA only so they won’t yield that. Sardines, pilchards and Mackerel and salmon are rich sources or else supplementation.
Some hopefully relevant scriptures for us (me included to read,mark learn and inwardly digest):- Matthew 11vv28-30, Psalm 23, Psalm 40vv1-2 12-13, Isaiah 53vv3-4, Isaiah 61vv1-3, Psalm 42v11,Psalm 43, Luke 4vv18-19, 1Kings 19v4,James 5vv17-20. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus The Christ is the only true ultimate remedy.Thanks be to God!
I was in the middle of watching the next video after this about autopsy reports and it froze in the middle of the video. I thought it was my internet and checked my connection. Came back to yt and it said the video was removed for violating community guidelines! 😡 Ugh! Thank you for the information you share.
BUT, with ME, it turned out to be a decades long Vitamin deficiency causing my Clinical Depression. I have been off antidepressant meds for over two years now, and am thrilled.
I can't even think about his death it makes me cry I just can't read anything that has to do with his Death he would still be here if everyone had done what the Father said
I had s3vere depression for 40 years and then read abook about being transformed by the renewing of the mind. Basically fil your mind with scriptures. Here is what I do.... Ll through the day a d they just pop up automatically now as if to answer demons who send negative thoughts. Scriptures.... THIS is the day the Lord has made I WILL rejoice and be glad in it, Take EVERY thought captive and MAKE IT OBEDIENT to Christ I will give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God for me in Christ Jesus God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind Trust in the Lord with all your heart lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to Him and He WILL direct your path I guarantee you, if you fill your mind with Gods word, you will beat the enemy. I am proof. I spent 40 years an alcoholic. Stopped and went straight into Gods word. Easy? NO....Worth it. OH YES!!! Praise Him.
1) Walk with God: listen, study the Bible, pray, express your deepest thoughts/desire, understand that God's will for you may include depression but His ways are ultimately for your good 2) Cling to the promises in the word: memorize and internalize 3) Find loyal supportive friends, maybe a good therapist 4) Plant based diet: Increases serotonin, vitamin D, alpha 3 omega acids 5) Physical movement/activity: outside for fresh air/sunlight
I agree with everything you’re saying very informational except for the medicine I have been all kinds of medicine for depression. Psychosis I feel none of it helps at all I believe in the good food, the exercise, the sunshine, the vitamin D, and of course God‘s work and I’m trying to stay intosometimes it’s hard but I want to
I wish to know if it can work for me I suffer from epilepsy since the day I was born and take 4 different types of medicine some of them can cause me to depression-anger-sadness-frustration can this work for me
GOD alone is our great Physician. HIS WORD heals all who turn to HIM. "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;" Isaiah 10:1 “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.” Psalm 125:3, Asclepius rod is the wicked rod. The one with a coiled snake used in “healthcare” today. Doctors today take a Hippocratic oath which is sworn to other gods. "For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." Revelation 18:23

I would add worship with song and words out loud.
❤️ worship with songs (as I’m not a person with many words) to draw me closer to the Lord & recognize/remind me of His Mercy.
Agree

Thank You God for everything you've done for me!
Keeping a journal is recommended by therapists too ! By writing down how you feel ; you can de- stress and improve your mood
I would not agree about plant based diet. I started researching carnivore diet and it is life changing! God bless❤
I agree. God did make these things, but man has ruined them with chemicals. That's why they keep pushing plants. I have been healing on carnivore WOE. Just started July 1st. Good luck

When you say carnivore… is it just eating meat and nothing else?
@@IAmPhasion Carnivore includes all animal products such as eggs, bacon, cheese and dairy, although most carnivores go easy on the dairy and some only eat ruminant meat or preferred meats. Ketovores include a small amount of low starch / low carb veges and maybe berries.
Carnivore is the way to go. Plant toxicity are real unless you only eat organics
Thx
So awesome!!!
One interesting prescription could be
REMEMBERING
what God done in the past for us.
Soothing music is something that I listened to and it helped my depression when I went through therapy for it.
Music seems to penetrate to the deepest part of our beings and can help us especially with depression. Listen well!
I love piano and the playing of the shofar instrumentals
Depression is a demon. Root causes include discouragement, deep grief, loss, unforgiveness and/or hope deferred. Seek the Lord, press in, to find the root.
I battled it for a long time and still have bouts from time to time. Heart sickness can be remedied. Give it to Jesus 💜
We have to give it to Jesus. Depression can be so strong and loom over every aspect of our lives, but it is not too big for Jesus to conquer.
Past trauma could also be a demon if we give into it rather leaning into the Lord.
Depression *can be a demon. Depression *can be organic. I'm sorry for your struggle and am glad you are overcoming it!!
I've lost because of my diseases. I will always walk with God. ❤
I was sceptical at first but God reassured me of these truths.
Thanks for the encouragement Dr. Marcum! God bless you!
God bless you to help all people.
If I could add a 6th, try to spread love to those around you. When we become more empathic, the serotonergic circuitry gets increased.
You are such a breath of fresh air!!! Thank you Dr Marcum!

I needed this, As a 26 year old who is battling with her emotions and having a parent who is dying, I don't know if what I feel is depression or numbness.
It's normal, to feel this way when a parent is dying. Normal. Make sure you don't skip meals. Take care, God bless.
May the Lord be with you and your family. Continue to lean-in to the Lord. Continue to pray for your parent’s salvation & peace in embracing the Lord’s welcoming arms.
May God give you His grace and comfort you with His peace to make it through. There is a brighter day 🙏🏾
