Treating depression with faith healing

[Nomad]

My father is a practicing Hindu. However, he was not always a devout Hindu. For over a decade, he was under medication for clinical depression. Then one day he met a faith healer who suggest he worship deities and read prayers. He started singing hymns, chanting mantras, and worshipping deities. One day he discovered that he had not taken medicines for over a week, still, he was perfectly fine.

With what you've explained, it shows your dad is living healthy due to the deities he is worshipping at the current basis. During the dark ages/ancient times, they believe in herbs and not foreign medicines. And such healed them perfectly and made them live longer.
