Faith Speeds Recovery from Depression

"Strong religious faith helps speed recovery from depression among elderly individuals. Older persons with an intrinsically motivated religious faith may indeed be more able to cope with changes in their physical health and living circumstances. Depressed patients with higher intrinsic (inner) religiosity scores had more rapid remissions". American Journal of Psychiatry

This is the first study to "scientifically" document that it is one's internal authentic relationship with God, not their external conformation to ritualistic principles such as going to church regularly, which will produce significant changes in their physical health.
