Mind and brain are connected, but distinct.

Top psychotropic drugs are being used for…

Depression

Anxiety

ADHD

You can find yourself taking one pill for antidepressant and another pill to deal with the symptoms of the antidepressant.

When you meet with a psychiatrist there is not an empirical or verifiable way that they can see a deficiency in your body.

They are just hearing someone describe themself and prescribing based off that description.

1 Timothy 5:17-22 (Info about how elders should operate)

1 Timothy 5:23 (Take a little wine for your aliments)

If your body has an ailment then medicine can have a practical application.

James 5:13-14 (There is a medical purpose for oils)

Psychotropics can not necessarily be taken if you obtain them legally and maintain God honoring motivations while taking them.

When should you wean off psychotropic drugs?

When you are numb.

Too keen or hope is in the medication.
