sorry, no. doesn't work like that for everyone. going to a church would probably make me even more insane and depressed if i was having those sorts of problems.
besides, if someone is dealing with serious issues, specific issues (not just, "oh i'm so sad") tell me how going to church is going to solve any of them? church isn't going to sit there with you and talk about your problems and try to come up with ways to fix them.
