• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi there,

So this is a great video about how professionals dealing with mental illness, see that mental illness condition.

On the one hand, they want to welcome those with mental illnesses; on the other hand, there are professional constraints and lack of personal experience in the mental realm, that hinder their ability to judge between those with mental illness and those without.

The point is, professionals want to be able to help the various mental conditions they come across and they have to fight tooth and nail to get funding, but this blinds them to how quickly a broader approach will overlook what is important to people with a mental health condition (at least in part).

I hope you find it informative.

(there is a good interjection at about 46:00, about how accurate psychiatry is)

There needs to be a marriage of the two . People can't be cured by just material means only " Man does not live by bread alone " Our souls are more than just this world. And we just can't pray and thats it. The Alfa is we pray to God to invoke light to heal the mind. The Omega is we get professional therapy , medication if needed for awhile . So we can understand how our beliefs effect us .How the ego works " The beam in our eye " Jesus told us to remove so the prince of world comes and has no mental illness in us.
