I'm assuming nothing. I just believe that lifestyle decisions have a lot to do with our mental health, and before I went to a doctor, I'd try to see if I was living my life the way Jesus taught me to live my life.You're assuming quite a bit here.
a) There is a simple lifestyle change that will cure them.
b) They are capable of making that change.
c) That the person advising them is making an informed and effective diagnosis and treatment suggestion.
d) They haven't already tried it and found it to be completely ineffective.
To be honest, going to someone who suffers from anxiety due to a chemical imbalance in the brain or PTSD or the like and telling them they just need to smile more or be more thankful for what they have is almost always going to make them worse off.
