There are abusive practices that have been used in connection with various mental attitudes or feelings. Over-medication in respect to depression is an example that comes to mind.

Dallin H. OaksWe need to lay hold on the feelings and try to control them to keep us from getting into a circumstance that leads to sinful behavior.
Dallin H. OaksI encourage you to seek the help of the Savior to resist temptation and to refrain from behavior that would cause you to have to repent or to have your Church membership called into question.
Dallin H. OaksI am unpersuaded that relative poverty and hard work are greater adversities than relative affluence and free time.
