- It is difficult to go through Daniel chapter 4 without realizing that, in our day and time, Nebuchadnezzar would have been diagnosed with some type of mental disorder, medicated to the point of absurdity, and put in an institution with little or no hope of returning to a normal life.
But, what is the Biblical view of mental health? How should we as Christians (and especially Pastors) look at the "mental health" industry? In this sermon, Pastor Voddie gives a Biblical look at these issues.

After being on anti depressants for over 20 yrs, due to a so called chemical imbalance I was able to ween myself off that medicine. My problem of depression was a sin problem. The more I have been in the word of God the more I realized I didn't need any of that. My joy comes from the Lord. Even as a believer I accepted the fact that I needed this medicine, hogwash! My medicine was always the word of the Lord, my only advice is indwell yourselves in his holy word❤
Amazing sermon Sir. You are 100% correct, on your PTS (Post Traumatic Stress), The D is dropped due to the fact we do not have a disorder, we have scars from things that no man should ever see. As a corrections officer for 22 years, Praise God he didn't allow me to finish the deed, instead he has lead me to Him, and I now understand that the "Powers and Principalities" are very much real, and those demons that are around us, Love to keep those images front and center to ultimately destroy you. My peace is graced to me through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I don't know if people truly understand how powerful of a word this is.
DONT SAY “BIPOLAR OR WHATEVER “ IS INSULTING TO ME WHO EXPERIENCE REAL BIPOLAR SYMPTOMS FOR 23 years. I HAVE STOPPED TALKING MY MEDS 8 TIMES N EVERY TIME I HAVE ENDED IN THE HOSPITAL. I STOP TAKING MY MEDS BC A “PASTOR” TOLD ME THAT I HAD NO FAITH. IM TIRED OF BEING DISAPPOINTED WHEN I GO TO PASTORS FOR ANY KIND OF ADVICE.
I am in the mental health field (licensed therapist). EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SPOKE IS TRUTH. And MOST of these “diagnosed disorders” are merely a label to describe a group of behaviors. I’ve counseled with thousands of victims of abuse & their abusers will often times use the excuse of their “disorder” to blame their actions so they don’t have to own their behavior. As if they can’t help what they do bc they “have ______” (fill in with a disorder). This way they are not responsible for what they do. Other times, abusers will diagnose their victims with a disorder so as to blame the victim for the abusers behavior. It’s all crazy-making to allow for the abuse to continue. America’s medical system is one where we keep a person sick (label/diagnose them with a disorder), medicate the disorder, keep them disordered so the money train that is our medical system keeps spinning - drs diagnose so they receive payment from insurance, a rx can be written, pharmaceutical co makes money from the treatment, patient must see Dr for new rx, it repeats. Everyone profits off of sick/disordered Americans. It’s a racket. It’s ALL a great big sin & disgraceful. We look to drs to “fix” what we don’t want to “fix” (correct) so we don’t have to change what we need to change.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Certified Lay Minister, and I approve this sermon. Well said. Amen Amen Amen Amen. --- Many good points but I'll just pick one to highlight. I really like when Dr. Baucham talks about how we expect that we aren't suppose to go through pain and we think that we must always medicate away the pain.
So I was wanting to get a degree in psychology to help people with mental illness before I read the Bible. Then I realized it’s a God thing and not a mental illness. 🤔🤔🤔
Sin is the result of all man's problems . God have granted to us everything pertaining to life and Godly living ..Pastor Baucham thank you for the truth of the word of God ..
I struggle with severe anxiety, or I DID struggle with it before I was saved. Trusting in the Lord and having a relationship with Him, knowing he has a plan and will for my life, has helped it immensely. Amazing sermon! God Bless Voddie, he’s one of my favorites! Always delivering those truth bombs through Gods Word.
After childbirth I was diagnosed with antenatal depression. I was on medication for ten years and then we lost our income. I weaned myself of the goiter drug( supposedly helps on depression) and the anti-depression drugs slowly. Put my trust in Jesus. Lost my husband a couple of years ago and had such closeness to Jesus. Now I look back and I'm in awe that I didn't need drugs again in that difficult time.
"Because his pride was inordinately large his humiliation was inordinately significant."
Dr. Baucham, thank God for you! I agree with everything you’ve said! I am a licensed mental health professional in GA and I have a Christian practice! I specifically focus on the problems of mental illness through a Christian worldview! Many of my clients have a distorted view of mental health. I focus on helping them see their issues as they connect to how God wants us to live. I focus on their life issues and the areas they struggle, not seeking to give them a label they can excuse their behavior and identify themselves with! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, for various reasons. Often people want a pill to make them feel better; they want a diagnosis to rest on, to not have to work hard on their own lives; they are inundated with social media that celebrates mental illness; the internet that they Google their diagnosis etc; colleges promote these diagnoses to young people In some cases helped many people get off serious psychotropic drugs that were destroying their minds. I totally agree with everything you’ve said and I encourage everyone to pay close attention to everything you said and seek a Christian therapist that UPFRONT in their Informed Consent let’s you know that A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW is what they are using to help them resolve their issues. I’m my 13 year experience, very very few people need medication and even fewer actually have a psychiatric mental illness.
Diagnosed as bi-polar for several years and medicated, I finally turned to Jesus. I gave Him my life whole heartedly and there were several verses that helps me.
I happen to have a mental illness that they may not be able to pick up in a blood test but they can actually see on an MRI, my brain is physically misshapen. I trust God, I hold on to Jesus, I walk by the Spirit and I take my meds
The Bible is THE source of truth. It's the ONLY truth and it's continuously humbling and amazing how it addresses every single aspect of life. God is so good.
Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for almost 20 years I looked to the illness not to God.
Having Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease, causes me severe depression when the thyroid is underactive, and severe anxiety when overactive. Having Vitamin D blood levels drop way down in the winter months, causes major depression. Having very low Ferritin levels, causes severe depression. Having very low Vitamin B12 levels, causes terrible depression. Only when my blood levels are back to normal, due to adequate thyroid hormone replacement, my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are increased, and my Ferritin levels are massively increased via iron infusions, am I free of depression and anxiety. Being sent to a psychiatrist who labelled me as having major depression, and being prescribed antidepressants, did absolutely nothing to help or improve, my depression. The depression I suffer from during the recurring medical condition episodes, is as a direct result of these four physiological, medical conditions I live with. Other causes of the symptoms of depression, can be heart disease, cancer, diabetes and mitral valve disease. Yes, I am a sinner saved by the grace of the Lord God Almighty, and I don't believe I have unconfessed sin in my life. I am saved by the grace of God, through faith, by the kind intention of His will. I have never read in His written word, that sickness and ill health will never happen to God's people, once they are saved. To God be the glory! Amen!!!
I really appreciate that Voddie Baucham talks about those difficult subjects. Much respect. God bless you.
The whole world needs to hear this message thanks so much God bless
God healed me from panic attacks without any drugs. The drugs that I was taking for depression and panic attacks made my symptom worse. I stopped taking them after a few times. It took about 2.5 years till I got healed. I focus on growing my faith and trusting in God, and getting to know Him better. I did realize my mental illness was a product of many things, and one those things was my sexual immorality sins.
