Dear Gramps, I suffered from depression after my first child and was put on Zoloft. Things got better and after a year or so, I got off the medication. Now, (after my 3rd child) I’m diagnosed with dithsemnia--depression. I’m on Zoloft again. My question is how the church feels about medication for depression. Depression seems to run in my family, however, sometimes I wonder if it’s hereditary or just a bad attitude that I should fix. I don't know what’s right. Worse...since I’ve been on this medication for depression, I no longer feel sad all the time, or think about death all the time, or hate everyone and myself...but I don't feel anything! I feel like my calling is suffering. I don't feel nervous or scared when I gave a talk in church, and when we had a very trying challenge in our family, I logically thought...oh that's terrible...but I didn’t feel that way...almost like my emotions are numbed. Can this be right? I don't feel like I can feel the spirit either. I “know” logically that the church is true...but I’m having a hard time “feeling” it. HELP!! Ellie [answer]
