Ya white people do this too, (although my mom is half lebanese). My older sister had signs of mental illness as a kid, teachers and the school counselors all told my mom that my sis needed professional help. My mom was like "they will put her on drugs and I don't want that, Jesus will fix her". Now she's going on 32, hasnt held a job in over two years. Thinks that she is the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene and was brought back to rejuvenate and heal the earth. The copious amounts of LSD she was doing probably didn't help the situation. My mom regrets not getting her help when she could and wants to do an intervention. But my sister has blocked us all and says her grateful dead family is the only real family she has. I just hope she doesnt end up homeless.
As kids my mom also used to bring us to church to be healed when we were sick and if we got worse then the doctors. She thought we would become "great faith healers" she has since apologized, but doesn't completely understand my siblings and my issues with organised religions.
