Rick Warren's Son Takes Own Life After Lifelong Battle With Mental Illness

Rick Warren's Son Takes Own Life After Lifelong Battle With Mental Illness


The 27-year-old son of Pastor Rick Warren has taken his own life after a lifelong struggle with mental illness. The internationally known Christian leader at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., made the announcement about his son early Saturday morning in an email sent to his staff.

"He had a brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most uncomfortable in a room. He'd then make a bee-line to that person to engage and encourage them," he continued. "But only those closest knew that he struggled from birth with mental illness, dark holes of depression, and even suicidal thoughts. In spite of America's best doctors, meds, counselors, and prayers for healing, the torture of mental illness never subsided. Today, after a fun evening together with Kay and me, in a momentary wave of despair at his home, he took his life."

WE WILL PRAY FOR PASTOR RICK WARREN'S FAMILY TODAY. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
But I know this, it doesn't need to happen if we would only stop and realize that the meds are the horror that takes a person to this horrific unthinkable level.
That is a scientific fact!
