I was diagnosed with a suicidal clinical depression in 2016 and took Wellbutrin which had nasty side effects (my hands shook so much I couldn't write) and I went to a therapist for two years. He would not work with clients who wanted drugs because he said the drugs "masked" their symptoms and he couldn't get at the root problem. I felt somewhat better but went to a Catholic Church and confession - told the priest I was having "bad thoughts" but hadn't done anything (my idea of sin was legalistic - I thought you had to DO something) - and he said "bad thoughts were sins" and after I told him what the repetitive deadly thoughts were, he abruptly put out his hand and rebuked the demons - and something flew off my head - and the thoughts vanished. I thought it was just a temporary psychological cure and the repetitive suicidal thoughts which I had suffered for a couple years would be back the next day, but nope. So if you are having "bad" thoughts, you might try a good confession. Worked for me. Cheap and fast. Find a good Catholic priest and tell him all your "bad" thoughts. That was 10/18 - and it has been 7 years. No problem ever since.

Tried to understand what had befallen me and found a book: Slaying Dragons by Charles D Fraune. It was very informative. People suffering from depression should know about this because depression IS like a dragon. My Mayo MD said it was "the best news I've heard all day" and was very happy for me. I think more people suffering from serious mental health issues (particularly if they are hearing voices urging them to become self destructive and suicidal) really need to find a good priest that they can reveal their own "bad thoughts" to. Today whenever I read about a suicide, I view it very differently than I did before my own unusual cure/liberation. There is help for anyone suffering from mental health afflictions and it can be found inside the confessional. Not necessarily in a bottle of pills. A good and thorough confession is the best. I had absolutely no expectations and didn't even know the priest. He was a total stranger, new to our church and I didn't believe much in confession either. So it was a total shock when I was "cured".... but it seems worth sharing the knowledge this total healing is really possible.
