   David, there are a lot of people who are not in any way religious to speak   
   of who at one time or another find themselves outside of their optimal   
   mental performance envelope.   
      
   For example, most of us at some times during life become depressed.   
   Usually, we do not seek professional help. We opt instead to simply use   
   friends as a sounding board and re-arrange our priorities to the point   
   where we can find a way to go forward.   
      
   Sometimes, we might be embarassed to approach friends, and instead use the   
   anonymity of an Internet pseudonym. If you look closely, a lot of people   
   posting here meet the criteria of mental illness.
