Why John MacArthur is mistaken about mental health

Mary came to see me for ‘a chat about her mental health’. ‘I can’t leave the house, I’m so frightened’ she said. It had gone on for years. Her GP referred her to a psychiatrist who had prescribed some medication and a course of therapy.

Her own pastor told her not to see the therapist, and to throw the medication in the bin. ‘Jesus is all you need’ he said, ‘Not an atheistic therapist’. He reminded her of Philippians 4:6-7.

She had come to me for a second opinion.
