Do you know what meditation is? It's inward looking and musing on stuff. It's a substitute for prayer that unbelievers use.

It's not taking medicine. That's medication with a *c* not a *t*.

The article is not about taking medicine to help with depression. It's about meditating and doing mind things to try to help.

I know what meditation is Madame. I studied it and practiced it when I was studying martial arts many years ago.
I’m sorry but the subtext I got was depression is better treated meditation not with medication.

I'm sorry but the subtext I got was depression is better treated meditation not with medication. And no, it wasn't a substitute for prayer for me nor was it ever explained to me to be so. It's not about ''musing''. It's about finding inner peace with ones self and the world around you. It's an exercise in humility and humility can be defined by knowing one is not God.
