When I was admitted to psychiatric hospital, suffering from acute clinical depression. The reaction of the nurse and doctors when learning I was a JW was "Not another one!"
One of even said maybe they should have a special ward for JW's they turn up so regularly.

When speaking to a person who is not a JW, but others in his family are. He said his married JW sister has been on Prozac for years. Yet his JW mother absolutely denies she is saying "Jehovah's people don't get depression"
