Produktbeschreibung

How does the process of coping with major mental illness influence the spiritual life? And, also, the reverse: How does faith influence a mental health condition? In this work the author discusses a major mental illness--her own--and delves into whether recovery is possible from a personal perspective. As a person who was devastated by schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and clinical depression, the author takes a look at religious practices like prayer, Scripture reading, and church life. She shares her account of contributing factors in building a healthier day-to-day existence for someone afflicted with significant psychological and social challenges.
