520 |a Moralizing accounts of depression include the idea that depression is a sin or the result of sin, and/or that depression is the result of demonic possession that has occurred because of moral or spiritual failure. Some Christian communities, understandably concerned about the debilitating effects these views have on people with depression, have increasingly adopted secular folk psychiatry's "medicalizing" campaign, emphasizing that depression is an illness for which, like (so-called) physical illnesses, those experience the disease should not be held responsible. This article argues that both moralizing and medicalizing models of depression are intellectually and practically (pastorally and therapeutically) problematic, gesturing towards more promising emphases.
