I do not know Dr. Mohr personally, though I would very much like to become her patientt.
My recomendation and high esteem for Dr/ Mohr comes from a guest column she wrote,after reviewing an article printed in the 9/12/08 edition of the Intermountain Catholic. The article described a meeting of the "Devine Mercy Conference on Overcoming Depression".
She was able to articulate what I had felt my whole life. A lifetime of being labeled a sinner because of my depression, although I often thought," if you had to live for just one day, being me,depression would be too good for you."
I understand there is still to this day, a separation of Science and God, but being a veteran and a nurse, I find it an outrage
that the V.A. Mental Health System's patient treatment S.O.P. leaves us , like the conference advocated, sinners that chose to be the way we are, deserving no treatment, empathy and worst of all no forgiveness.
I am a new Catholic of 3 years, and am saddened by this, but do realize, or hope that this was just 'one mans opinion',and not the Catholic Churches belief.
Thank you for listening, Sincerely,
Esther Martinez, The Cathederal Parish
