I don't know. I do know that many ultra-religious sects tend to look at psychology/psychiatry with suspicion. Helping people to learn how to think and feel for themselves is very threatening to them.

I don't think so. Actually ion several Christian sects it is s sin to actually seek treatment outside of prayer.

I don't know what Christianity thinks of depression, but if someone is depressed they owe it to themselves to seek treatment regardless of what anyone thinks. It's too short a life to suffer all the way through it.

I have no idea what Christianity thinks of this.....! I don’t believe in the concept of sin to begin with, but this question is not about my beliefs or non beliefs. I don’t think it much matters what any religion thinks or says about any subject unless it impinges on the lives of those who do believe. In the case of any mental illness, including depression, treatment should always be sought regardless of religious belief.

i have never been a christian but i know enough to know that various sects of christianity have different ideas about such things. there is no one great big umbrella christianity when it comes to many issues, and this is one of them. i mean, to some christian sects, dancing is a sin. to the jw, voting is a sin. i think there are more christian sects that think that seeking treatment is a sin than that NOT seeking it is a sin, but... why would you care? so while the question is too general, it's also a little odd to be asking here since no one here would be inclined to care what was considered a sin by any religion, right?

This one is easy... Just go to a faith healer! BOOM! Done!

A sin? Don't you feel bad enough in your body, you need to add a litle psychic agony to it?
